The Flaming Lips posted that Lip$ha is getting released when she works out her stuff with Luke, so does that mean she's still working with him? I thought Pebe said she would never work him again.  |
That's what Pebe wants, clearly, but she doesn't really know. My guess would be that they either sorted their differences out or Kesha is fighting to get out of her contract.

However, what they could have meant was that she needs to get Luke to allow her to continue working on Lip$ha and actually release it because I don't think Luke was ever here for her doing the project with them. But it could also mean that she's possibly trying to find a way for her to be able to leave him and go to a different label. We just don't know tbh  |
When I first read their tweet, because of the way they worded it, it came across to me as if they were trying to come to a mutual agreement about still working with him. It's all a bit of a mess still. 
I really hope that if she is still forced to work with him, he allows her to do what she wants.

I kinda doubt Kesha will let herself be walked on at this point. She ain't taking no ****.

At this point, I think it's safe to assume that she is still with Luke and they are possibly trying to work things out. Hopefully everyone can come to an agreement that allows her to continue with this project but without getting permission from Luke, it wouldn't be able to be released unloose she releases it under another name or something like that.

At the age of eighteen, she was signed to Luke's own label and music publishing company. While in Los Angeles, Ke$ha had the opportunity to sing background vocals for Paris Hilton's single, "Nothing in This World," which led to a later incident in which she vomited in Hilton's closet. Luke and Ke$ha later became estranged, with Ke$ha eventually signing with David Sonenberg's management company, DAS Communications Inc. in 2006. They were tasked with obtaining a major label record deal for her in a years time. She worked with several top writers and producers while at the company and credits the creation of her beat-driven sound to a co-writing session with Greg Wells. She also co-wrote The Veronicas' single, "This Love" with Toby Gad. Her songs were used on Degrassi: The Next Generation, The Hills, Teen Cribs, and My Super Sweet 16 as well.
Ke$ha had wanted Prince to produce her music, so she located and trespassed into his Beverly Hills home. Once discovered, she was thrown out, but not before she left her demo with Prince, who did not contact her afterward. She later remarked that, "I felt it was harmless at the time, but looking back it was pretty psychotic." Ke$ha moonlighted as a waitress and a telemarketer to make ends meet while furthering her music career in the studio. She appeared in the video for Katy Perry's single, "I Kissed a Girl." Her appearance in the video arose due to her friendship with Perry; they met frequently as aspiring pop singers in Los Angeles and shared many musical collaborators.
In 2008, DAS attracted the attention of Kara Dioguardi, who wanted to sign Ke$ha to Warner. The deal fell through due to existing conflicts with Ke$ha's contract with Dr. Luke's label. She terminated her contract with DAS in Septemberand reunited with Luke. She later sang background vocals for Britney Spears' song "Lace and Leather".
Ke$ha gained exposure in the mainstream media in early 2009 after appearing on Flo Rida's number one single, "Right Round." The collaboration was called "an accident" by Ke$ha; she had walked into a recording session with Flo Rida and Luke, who was producing the song. Flo Rida had wanted a female voice for the song, Ke$ha was then suggested for the part by Luke. Flo Rida liked the end result so much that they did two more songs. Ke$ha is not credited for her feature on the US release of "Right Round" and did not collect any money for the part. She also refused to appear in the video; she explained in an interview that, "if you want to be a legitimate artist, it’s more important what you say no to. I knew he would want me to be some sexpot, shake my booty, and whatever." The song soon achieved success worldwide while Ke$ha continued to live on a meager income, which inspired the dollar sign in her stage name. She states that it was meant to be ironic, in that she "actually [stood] for the opposite of putting a lot of emphasis on money."
Ke$ha performed at The Echo in 2009. Soon after, it was announced that Ke$ha had signed a multi-album deal with RCA Records through Luke's imprint, after being sought after by many major labels, and was working on her debut album. She made her official stage debut at that year's Lollapalooza as part of the BMI Stage, with Time Out Chicago saying that the set "left the audience wanting more," comparing it to crack cocaine.

I wonder how her career would've turned out, if she didn't terminate that contract with DAS, and ended up leaving Luke

Could her changing from Ke$ha to Kesha (Rose) be a way forward for that?

Animal is by far her best work and is probably one of the best pop albums of recent time. It's definitely my favourite. It doesn't even sound all that dated even tho it came out like four / five (idk) years ago.
Warrior tried. Warrior failed

That's something that I had been looking for. To this day i'm still confused as to what label she was signed to then because his label wasn't functional until 2012 and he hadn't been given the right to actually create it until 2011.

It may be a way. The Dream released an album underneath his real name to bypass the hold that Def Jam had on his 4th album so it could work for her.

"shared many musical collaborators"
