While I'd still LOVE for a song like "Stephen" to be released as a single, "Take It Off" is a smart choice for Ke$ha. It should continue her string of Top Ten hits off her debut album, Animal. While so far none of her singles have managed to see the same chart success as her debut "Tik Tok" which went #1, both "Blah Blah Blah" and "Your Love Is My Drug" managed to land inside the top ten (#7 and #4 respectively) so chances are good that "Take It Off" will do the same. The Ke$ha, Lucas Gottwald, Claude Kelly-written/Dr. Luke-produced song currently sits at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The song is fun, despite not really showing off any of Ke$ha's singing ability. I guess "singing" isn't what sells records these days. Oh well. No matter. Ke$ha has plenty of time to show the world whether or not she can sing. Video clips found on YouTube suggest she CAN in fact sing.
The just released video for "Take It Off" sees Ke$ha partying it up with a bunch of her dirty, raunchy friends at some skeezy desert motel. The video is similar in vein to her friend Adam Lambert's video for "If I Had You," except considerably more triz-ashy. Overall, a fun time. Animal is FULL of single-worthy tracks so I'm excited to see WHAT the label chooses to release next, if anything at all.
