The story of the success of the current #1 pop single "Right Round" is not just about rapper Flo Rida. It's also about the featured singer on the track, 21-year-old Nashville, Tennessee native Ke$ha. Once music executives began to notice her the battle was on for a signing. The victor in the battle was RCA Records. As a sign of the high hopes for Ke$ha, the label has assigned two of the most successful pop producers of the past decade, Max Martin and Dr. Luke, to help put together a debut album due later this year.

The sound of Ke$ha is distinctly electropop. The language in her words is not for the faint of heart, but the sheer brashness and independence of Ke$ha's approach spells excitement. She refers to herself as an "anti-pop" star. Dr. Luke says, "Ke$ha is a riveting, fresh talent, with a compelling, unique voice, and powerful writing skills." Think of Lady GaGa without restraint.
