Throughout all of 2012 I've been saying how it's been a boring year for music. Well all of sudden, it seems like all the biggest names have decided that it's time to dominate again. Today I'm going to try to cover three of the songs that stood out to be in the past week. Starting with the one that, while it's good, probably had the weakest effect on me.
Remember "Born This Way?" Remember how Gaga hyped it up, saying it was going to be a revolutionary hit? Well, the song was good, but did not match my expectations from that. And here we go again; this time it's Ke$ha who claimed that she would be reinventing pop. And then she goes and releases a song that doesn't even reinvent herself.
This song is exactly what Ke$ha has always sounded like. It's got an autotuned chorus, while she raps through the verses. The lyrics are about partying and the like, sound familiar Basically, we waited over a year to get TiK ToK part two. Although, it's not all a repeat of herself; she also borrowed the same guitar riff that you've heard throughout "Good Feeling." As if you didn't have that stuck in your head long enough.
It's not a bad song, though. We have waited long enough that just hearing the familiar Ke$ha sound is nice again. There's a reason she's been topping charts, and that reason should carry onto this song. Ke$ha should keep in mind, though, that getting people's hopes up can lead to big disappointment.
So, in short. The song is the kind of dance-track Ke$ha specializes in. If you like that style, then you should like "Die Young." And maybe Ke$ha will reinvent pop later on, you never know. But so far, all we've got is her recycling pop.
