Ke$ha has revealed that she will adopt a more grown up sound when she records her second album.

The singer, who topped the Billboard 200 with debut LP Animal, claimed that she will look to her heritage to get inspiration for the follow-up.

“Coming from Nashville, I love Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard, and want to make those records too. But right now, it’s my ‘f**k off’, fun period and I’m gonna enjoy it,” she told Q magazine.

Ke$ha reportedly worked on her debut album for seven years prior to its release, writing over 200 songs for the LP.

She previously recorded backing vocals for Paris Hilton’s debut album.

Little Boots has admitted that she was baffled when she saw the video to Ke$ha’s latest single ‘Blah Blah Blah’.

The British singer, who released her debut album Hands in the US on March 2, revealed that she was undecided on whether she likes Ke$ha.

“Just saw a video of KRAZY KE$HA drawing on her own ass. Not sure how I feel about that one,” she wrote on Twitter.

Little Boots kicked off her North American tour in New York earlier this week.

Singer Ke$ha has launched a scathing attack at Britney Spears.

The Tik Tok hitmaker — who featured on Britney’s track Lace And Leather — doesn’t like the fact Spears lip-syncs during her concerts.

“I think that’s bulls***,” she said. “I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance.

Pop wild child Ke$ha has revealed how she tried tracking down her father – only to be left down and out in Los Angeles.

America’s hottest new rock chick has never met her dad and gave up any interest in finding him after a trip to the City of Angels proved to be a dead end.

Ke$ha – who has been at No1 in the US since the new year with Tik Tok – insists she wouldn’t be too thrilled if he turned up out of the blue. The 23-year-old said: “I made my way out to LA and stayed with this guy I thought could be my dad, but he’s not.

“At least I don’t think he is. There is a slim chance he is my father. I got off the airplane to meet him and immediately I was like, no way.”

“The party don’t start ’til I walk in,” Ke$ha informed us on her debut single. Three months on and the party’s still raging swing for pop’s most brazen newcomer. After a nine-week reign at the top of the US chart, during which she held the Haiti crew off the No.1 spot, she’s now back with 3OH!3 collab ‘Blah Blah Blah’. Armed with a bottle of Jack, we paid her a visit to talk cheesy chat-up lines, those Uffie comparisons, and.. well, to have some “f**k off-good fun”!

You’ve had a mad few months. How are you coping with it all?
“The last eight months of my life have been pretty insane. I don’t think you can really be a total party animal and be number one. You have to pace yourself a bit. There’s been lots of flying and lots of different time zones, but jetlag is really the only negative thing about this. Jetlag is retarded!”

John Mayer has reportedly revealed that he is a fan of Ke$ha, joking that he has been “won over” by her “tricks and charms”.

The ‘Your Body Is A Wonderland’ singer wrote a message to Ke$ha on his Twitter account, praising her hit single ‘Tik Tok’, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks.

“You have won me over with your tricks and charms and I must tell you I really like your song,” he wrote.

“Though I must add I tried brushing with a bottle of Jack and I chipped a tooth on the glass. Where might I remit an invoice?”

He added: “Stop telling your friends you detest the Ke$ha song and then dancing to it at home. How about some accountability people? How can you watch Jersey Shore for nine hours and then act like you only listen to Beethoven’s fifth? Okay. Point made. Night.”

Ke$ha later responded on her own Twitter page – quoting her new track ‘Blah Blah Blah’ – writing: “dear john mayerrr. Don’t be a little b*tch wit ur chit chat. Jus $how me whur ur d**k’s at. x”

SINGLE OF THE WEEK with J from Ram FM (Listen to J weekdays 7-10pm and Saturdays, noon-4pm)

BLAH BLAH BLAH Ke$ha

UNAPOLOGETIC, brash, brazen, and the curator of brilliant pop music, Ke$ha returns with her second single and it’s more in your face than Tik Tok, and just as infectious, if that was ever possible.

Blah Blah Blah flips the tables on men, and Ke$ha demands throughout the song that she’s just not interested in the lines that guys spin to get a girl. And in a total 360, Ke$ha stamps her authority and basically claims “less talk, more action!” Indeed, it’s this type of attitude that has allowed the “nice girl” from Nashville to dominate the charts round the world. First time I spoke to her she revealed she’d broken into megastar Prince’s house; threw up in Paris Hilton’s wardrobe; and stole her mum’s car at 15 to go to a concert! So, she’s never going to win any awards on how to be a teenager, but awards for music – she’s going win loads!
