Ke$ha: A Bob Dylan for Late-Adolescent Party Nihilists

Ke$ha goes out for a night on the town with her mom, songwriter Pebe Sebert, in Los Angeles on Monday (May 9).

The 24-year-old pop phenom was recently compared to a rock icon. The LA Times wrote, “She’s got a writing credit on Britney Spears‘ sleek and insatiable new single ‘Till the World Ends‘ atop a long catalog of her self-penned album tracks and work for Miley Cyrus and others. This makes her a rarity among the hyper-specialization of today’s pop machinery: a solo
female chart topper with a singular aesthetic who can capably pen for her peers. In that, she may be a hater’s true worst nightmare: a Bob Dylan for late-adolescent party nihilists.”
