It's pretty much common pop knowledge that
Ke$ha is tangled in some kind of label trap. Her fans have started
a petition to free her of
Dr. Luke's creative control and
Wayne Coyne of
The Flaming Lips voiced his disappointment with the situation after their collaborative
Lip$ha record was cancelled. We also can't forget
Ke$ha's now deleted tweets where she claimed that she was forced to sing her hit single, "
Die Young". Less than fantastic single sales only make the situation even more complicated. The label could claim that the numbers are a result of her failure to cooperate, while
Ke$ha could argue that it's the perfect reason to be released from her contract. What happens when the pop star no longer wants to be a pop star?
It was somewhat surprising to see a the release of a new music video from her
Warrior album, as promotion pretty much fell through after "
Crazy Kids" fizzled out. The video for "
Dirty Love" drops
Iggy Pop's dated-upon-release verse and features a new solo verse, along with some stripped down production. Directed by
Ke$ha with a seemingly low budget, it's probably her best video since "
Blow". And as much as I love
Iggy, this new version of the track is way more rock than the original duet.
Check out the video for "
Dirty Love" below and if you never gave it a listen, head
this way for the full
Warrior record. Although buying that may just help her label, so maybe
tour tickets are the way to go.
