The only part of "Crazy Kids" that could be considered dance-pop style production would be the middle 8. The chorus is a perfect guitar driven, beat infused folk-pop part of music history, and the verses are some of the best hippinin'-and-a-hoppinin' dirty base raps that anyone's ears will ever have the pleasure to hear.
I understand your point with "C'mon" and can reluctantly see it with "Die Young" too. (Although the latter will always be one of the best lead singles to emerge in the past 4,826 years.)
I think the problem is that when Dr. Luke branches out with Ke$ha in different genres ("Wonderland", "Dirty Love" etc.) they're not exactly fit to be singles, somewhat leaving only dance-pop songs left. Yes, you have songs like "Only Wanna Dance With You" which is a good ol' bit of funky rock, and "Last Goodbye" which is basically the "Crazy Kids" chorus without the jarring transitions between genres, but one was outcast to the unfortunate status of 'bonus track', and the other's left sounding like a 4th/5th single choice.
So maybe if the "different" tracks were more accessible, more radio-friendly, stronger, then we could possibly see a bit of diversity in her singles. |
"Crazy Kids" definitely isn't dance-pop, but it's still about partying, which I meant to include something about in my post but forgot to. Pretty much all of Ke$ha's singles are either dance-pop or about partying, with some having the joy of being both. Don't get me wrong, this is the Ke$ha that I started stanning for, so I'm not complaining, but the GP clearly aren't here for it anymore.
You have to admit that Dr. Luke isn't trying hard to give Ke$ha good single choices that aren't dance-pop or about partying, though. That's what her appeal
was, so that's what the most interest was put into.
And that's the reason why I brought up Katy and Miley... I don't necessarily want Ke$ha to have a "Roar" or "Wrecking Ball" type single, but I do want Dr. Luke to make her non electro-pop and non party songs more radio friendly. There's a lot more to Ke$ha than just party lyrics and electro-pop production, but the radio hardly ever gets to hear both.
