Ke$ha traveled the U.S this summer on her first arena tour with Rihanna, kicking off in Los Angeles where the LA Times called her a "...very charismatic artiste..." and the New York Times called her performance "purely joyous" and headlined her first European tour in December where Ke$ha played her debut headline UK show at London’s 02 Shepherds Bush Empire to rave response, the Guardian referred to her live show as ‘…fantastic fun’. Ke$ha will bring her ‘Get Sleazy’ tour to the world in 2011, starting with the US, Canada, Australia & Japan this spring with further dates to be announced throughout the year. On Animal + Cannibal: says Ke$ha "The last year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime. My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you dont like it - bite me. " In addition to executive producer Dr. Luke, Ke$ha collaborated with powerhouse producers including Max Martin (Britney Spears, Pink), Benny Blanco (Katy Perry, 3Oh!3), Bangladesh (Lil’ Wayne, Beyonce) and others. www.keshasparty.com QUOTES ‘Anyone unburdened by an uptight approach to music will love it, and her. Which is, of course, just the way Ke$ha wants it.’– SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE ‘Ke$ha embodies her tunes with enviable gusto. She’s irreverent, frisky and fierce as they come. ****’ –TIMEOUT ‘A groomed popette she is not, beneath lies a talent.

The new pop Animal is here.” DAILY MIRROR ‘It’ll be hard to find an album this year that’s more fun than Animal. ****’– HEAT ‘2010 could well be Ke$ha’s year’- GRAZIA ‘A feminine role model for these times.’ –Q MAGAZINE ‘America’s latest pop princess, Ke$ha is about to strike it rich’ - OBSERVER
