This will smash, and that's nice, but that really wasn't my priority for the song, and I don't think it should have been Ke$ha's. She hyped this as an evolution, and her lead single should have at least somewhat represented that.
It's good for what it is, but it isn't what it should be.
I doubt the music industry or any average fan expected her to change from the Pop-Glittery Gal. She was smart releasing this as the Lead because it's catchy, a certified Pop Hit, and will get everyone back to the Ke$ha we knew. Once her album drops and this hits #1, THAT'S when she releases her music experiments to the radio once everyone is fully aware and she gets full force.
If she would've came back with a whole new sound after 2 years, she'd get a lot of bad critique, and if what if the song was to not get good recognition and like? Then it flops.
They hyped this song up. Producers, all of the radio people who heard it first tweeted that is was a great track and hyped it up. I'm sure there is progression on the album she never said Die Young was going to be revolutionary..
A mix of what works on the radio and what she listens to in her spare time, that's what she said...
Even though the song is very now, with elements of previous Dr. Luke productions in it, there is something about it that makes it sound fresh. It's like it fits in, yet it's recognisable enough for people to identify it as a Ke$ha track. I also think the song is more anthemic than anything she has done before. Nate Ruess (who co-wrote the track) helped her establish that bold, massive sing-along chorus and those ad-libs that give it a lot of substance. A lot of fun.'s music is like that. The verses are still very Ke$ha and nothing new though. The progression comes from the chorus, and the song structure.

Anyone returning after 2 years of absence is gonna get hyped up very high, because it's expected.

duuuuuh
of course they are, it's called promo. they were all paid to over-hype it. i still love the song, but i'm not surprised that the hype was better than the actual song.
