"I love that I was so naive about having fun": Kesha revisits her debut album, Animal, 15 years after it first dropped

Kesha is opening up about her early releases, such as her debut album, Animal, which has marked 15 years since its release. While the album soon became a worldwide hit, topping multiple charts, she had already gained huge attention with her 2009 single "TiK ToK," which blew up before the album even arrived.

Before that, Kesha was also featured on Right Around by Flo Rida. Today, Kesha still stands as one of the most loved singers around the world, with the release of her recent album, Period.

The Timber singer recently appeared in an interview with Rolling Stone, talking about her early releases. Speaking of it, she said:

"I love that I was so playful and that I just didn’t give a f*ck. And I love that I was so naive about having fun in front of the whole world. What a fearless bad b*tch! I have so much love for her. She had no idea how painful that was gonna be, to be so imperfect in front of the whole world, but what a bada*s motherf*cker."

Kesha opens up about how people viewed her autotune and quirky lyrics

Kesha, being a pop singer, didn't take much time to make her name in the music industry. The singer, from her early hits, was loved for the fun pop beats and the quirky lyrics. However, this also brought assumptions that she depended on autotune rather than her real vocals.

Addressing the same, she told Rolling Stone:

"I kind of pride myself in being smart and being able to sing. And for the whole world to think I couldn’t sing and I was stupid. Like that was hard for me. Maybe I shouldn’t have given as much of a fu*ck as I did, but it’s the whole world… And it’s my whole life. And so that was hard for me and I just had to kinda let time go on and let my integrity and my choices and my creativity speak for itself. But it did take a while for me to kind of finally feel like people are starting to see me holistically."

Her major single song, Tik Tok, reached the number one position on multiple charts after its release. Her other earlier song, Blah Blah Blah, also hit the charts after its release. Kesha shared on The Jennifer Hudson Show earlier this year that "TiK ToK" kept getting better the more over-the-top and silly they made it, which she found ironic given how seriously she views herself.

The singer also made it clear that she plans to continue writing in the pop genre, bringing good news for fans who love her signature sound.
