Ke$ha is definitely not high on the list of music’s great pioneers but she just might etch her name into the history books with her new album. In a surprising statement to the Calgary Herald, the singer/songwriter has proclaimed that she is on a mission to “reinvent Pop music”.

Ke$ha also confirmed that the LP will indeed hit stores in May as previously indicated by producer Dr. Luke. The only other details that she has thus far revealed about the record is that it is inspired by 1970s Rock & Roll.

It’s great to see Ke$ha setting such lofty goals for herself but her visions of grandeur might prove to be her downfall. All of her music to date has been laced with thick auto-tune and focused on themes about getting naked and drunk so it is difficult to take her seriously.

Furthermore, following the erroneous remarks of Rihanna’s team that her ‘Loud’ LP would match magnitude of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ - ironically, an album that redefined Pop music – few would truly expect any act of this generation to achieve such expectations. On the bright side, however, there is no harm in trying!
