Ke$sha – Animal (Album – Animal)

by SMASHorTRASH on January 25, 2010

Here is another track from Ke$ha (Kesha). She has a great sound, whoever is mixing her music knows what they are doing. So much is going on, but you can still pull it all together. What do you think of this song? It is currently number one and she’s not slowing down.

I usually don’t listen to everything that comes down the channel from an artist mainly because there are so many songs available, I do a quick scan of a song and if it has a bad sound I move on to the next song. After going through Ke$ha’s entire song list, I have to say that her music is pretty content light. Like in “Dinosaur” she spells the word out to kick off the song. I just think her lyrics are on par with the movie Clueless, about as deep as a wading pool. But that is my personal observation based on listening to the entirety of each song in her library.

Down by Jay Sean

by SMASHorTRASH on December 22, 2009

Here is Jay Sean, and the song that brought “Down, Down, Down, Down, Down” into my lexicon. You can’t help but say that with ever deeper intonation. I like the song, but is it a Smash Hit or should we Trash It? You make the call.
