We (some of us) are only referring to her as 'Kesha Rose' because she changed her twitter username from 'keshasuxx' to 'KeshaRose', but I think she would have changed it simply to 'Kesha' had that username been free for use.  |

Yeah, Cannibal and Warrior have great Metacritic scores, and as you said, Warrior received a higher score than some of her contemporaries' albums, like Unapologetic, Bangerz, PRISM, ARTPOP, etc. (even though it less reviews too, which would play a part in that).
So I'm not worried about her critical acclaim. But the GP still think of her as the party girl, and tracks like Timber just reinforce that stereotype that was created for her. But hopefully this new era can be a new beginning for her, of sorts.
The public respond to change. Remember Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" era? Miley Cyrus even proved it last year with the "Bangerz" era. Even though Kesha's change would be the opposite of these two (going from "bad" girl to "good"), I still feel like it very well could have a similar effect. Here's to hoping, anyway.

If you asked me like a week ago I'd say not a chance, but considering she tweeted about working on "lots of new music" it seems like a legit possibility that we will.

The "party girl" image is always believed to be a bad thing. On one hand, it's disguised her talents and has limited her from having credibility amongst the public. On the other, it's the exact thing that catapulted her into success. She's released 9 singles, and 7 have been successful. Each have been in the same vein, so I don't think her image is a huge problem when it comes to singles success. She lost steam with "C'mon", but I think that was a poor choice. She regained what she lost with "Timber" and proved that people are still down for a "jam". It's the album sales that suffer because of her image, in my opinion. This figure might be dated by now, but her debut (released at her peak) sold about 2.5 million. That's a moderate success.

I know, I'm still not sure what that means exactly... maybe she's going to be working with him on the new album. I just hope it wasn't a spiteful RT, as in, "you're not making anything unless I say so."

That is what I'm scared about. But, tbh. Luke obviously likes Money and Timber smashed so they would be stupid to not push Kesha. I reckon we will get music this year. Maybe there will be like 3 Luke produced tracks and the rest whatever.

Kesha is still Luke's first and most successful artist to date. Juicy J is okay and could do well within the urban community or as a go-to rapper like Pitbull or Flo Rida (see Katy Perry's Dark Horse), but he's not a pop girl.
Sabi and Sophia Black are never going to happen, I legit don't even know anything they sing. He's tried it with Becky G so many times already and nothing seems to be working. G.R.L are just a stupid girl group with a dumb name, they're never gonna happen. Bonnie McKee is his next best thing and so long as she keeps trying to be the next Katy Perry while people don't want another Katy Perry, she's going nowhere either.

How's it with Bonnie, MarryTheMonster found she's somehow connected to Luke but she's with #BeEpic?

waiT, I'm a bit pressed that this may mean we'll never get the Warrior stems/instrumental

Bonnie's on Kemosabe and Epic, like Kesha's on Kemosabe and RCA. At least that's how I think it works.

Exactly. He can only do so much sabotage before he looses where it hurts, the pocket.

Yep. So he's either going to keep working with her, but allow her to be more flexible with her image and sound, or he's going to release her from her contract. Continuing with the party image legitimately isn't even an option worth considering at this point, especially seeing as she's dropped the dollar sign in her name.

I'm not a full on stan but I love her singles, Warrior and a few of her unreleased. If she really can serve a more personal, less-Luke album I'll happily apply for a full-time stan card. For now she's just one of my regular faves.
Can we just take a sec to appreciate the good sis Gold Trans Am
