Ke$ha blasted her way into the music industry with her monster hit ‘Tik Tok’ and now, after months of touring without releasing any new material and writing smashes for other artists, she is ready to return to the spotlight. In fact, the Pop phenomenon is aiming to release her new album in early 2012.

Dr. Luke broke the news via Twitter that Ke$ha’s followup to ‘Animal’ will stores by May next year. Ke$ha previously stated that the record is inspired by 1970′s Rock & Roll, particularly the music of Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.

This news is not all surpassing. It is actually more shocking that Ke$ha didn’t release an album at the start of 2011, following the almost annual trend of her fellow Pop star Rihanna.

Many people denounce Ke$ha’s talent primarily because of her incessant use of auto-tune and the fact that she doesn’t seem to take her music seriously. However, despite her intoxicated demeanor, she is actually a talented artist who has crafted some of the best Pop songs of the last year such as Britney Spears’ ‘Till The World Ends’.

Every artist does not have to be a serious literary thinker like Stevie Wonder or multi-octave vocalist like Mariah Carey. At least Ke$ha writes her own music and is involved in creating her hits, which is a lot more than I can say for Rihanna or Spears.
