Style and music image
Kesha wrote or co-wrote every song on her first two albums and considers herself a songwriter mainly, writing for artists including Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus. He has a "strong and grinning vibrato", with qualities like different models for his voice; he uses actual yodeling on "Tik Tok" and "Cannibal" songs. After previous states, pop rock, and electro, he had a clear idea of ​​the synth-pop sound he wanted for his debut album. The popular genre at the time, with many of his colleagues released the same output as well. Both albums are genres with interesting hooks and synthesized production often compared to pop singers Dev by music critics, creating misunderstandings among fans of both. The "Party at the House of Riches" and "C U Next Tuesday" received support in the 1980s, while "Stephen" began with "Kansas-style vocal harmony." With the lyrics, "Oh Nicolas Cage, you're very old/you're prehistoric/you're like dinosaurs/DINOSA-you are dinosaurs", "Dinosaurs" follow the bait-chorus formulas, and have a "cheerleader-type tune" reminiscent of "Hollaback Girl" (2005) by Gwen Stefani and "Girlfriend" (2007) by Avril Lavigne; this song uses the symbolism of dinosaurs, carnivores, and other primitive motifs to tell the story of an older man who preys on a younger woman. According to Kesha, this song is based on real events. While his vocals in Animal are heavily processed with auto-tune, often to produce a rapidly jerking or over-pitch vocal effect, causing questions about vocal talent, expressing confidence in his abilities, showing some of his vocal talents in ballads " Animal "and" Hungover "on the album.
Kesha Warrior's second studio album uses much less autotune, though it's still featured in a number of songs. Ballad piano and guitar-driven albums such as "Love Into The Light", "Wonderland" and "Past Lives" feature Kesha's vocal capabilities. Kesha also uses the trademark "white-girl" style of speech with discordant phrases and excessive speech. His vocal technique has made him credited as a rapper, a topic that he disagrees until his rapper AndrÃÆ'Â © 3000, Wiz Khalifa, and Snoop Dogg support him. Regarding this matter, he said: "The first time someone called me a rapper, I started laughing, I was shocked, and thought it was funny.This is crazy and funny to me." The New York Times said Kesha "threatened to be the most influential female rapper of the day, or at least the most popular." Pretending Kesha is not a rapper no longer feasible. " "Crazy Boy" and "C'mon" take over bigger to "rap party". Most of the lyrics tell her about her relationship and partying; the lighter subject of the latter and the unfiltered language saw many critics criticizing it for releasing frivolous and rude music. Jonah Weiner of Slate , however, stated that the lyrical lyrics made the song even more memorable. In "Blah Blah Blah" and "Boots & Boys", he objected men to make fun of how rock fronted and rapper bands can get away with objectifying women and not vice versa. The title song for her debut, "Animal", is more aspirational and is meant to inspire people to embrace their individuality. Much more experimental than Animals , her second album, Warrior , contains dubstep elements and explores the erotic experience Kesha faces with ghosts on the song "Supernatural". Overall, Kesha says the theme of Warrior is magic.
Critics praised the Warrior because of the influence of his rock music, even though his album was rooted in technopop. Praising the sound of rock albums, Rolling Stone called Kesha's rock manifesto album. The rock icons of The Flaming Lips, Iggy Pop, and Alice Cooper have collaborated with Kesha, supporting him as a rock singer. Cooper told Billboard, "I saw him immediately and left, 'This girl is not a pop diva, she's a rock singer.' He prefers to be a Robert Plant woman rather than the next Britney Spears. " The A.V. Club notes that Warrior proves Kesha as a reliable vocalist and songwriter. The Washington Post says that the album is "pure fun", acknowledging its prowess to find a good hook even though the lyrics are sometimes stiff.

Kesha's musical influences also consist of hip hop, punk rock, crunkcore, glam rock, pop, dance music and classical country. Her country's influence on Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash comes from her mother's country songwriting, while her brother flaunts her to hip-hop and punk bands, Fugazi, Dinosaur Jr. and Beastie Boys. He praised his lyrics based on a direct story for his love of the honest storytelling style of country music, while the title song of his debut album was made with the bands of alternative rock bands The Flaming Lips and Arcade Fire in mind. He chose Beastie Boys as a big influence, telling Newsweek that he always wanted to be like them and aspire to make "a young and disrespectful national anthem" as well. She called her debut album, Animal , a tribute to Beastie Boys' Licensed to the Ill and credited in the creation of rap driven "Tik Tok" for her love for Beastie Music rap boy. For his first headlining tour, Kesha wanted to imitate the Iggy Pop stage play.

Soldiers , for this effect, including the collaboration with Pop itself.
