Well, Ke$ha's first song in four years, "Praying", officially blows. It starts with a minute-long spoken word intro that is self-important, pretentious, and ****ing boring. Then the rest is Elton John-core piano ballad nonsense that sounds like something off a Christina Aguilera album, except Christina has a much more commanding voice than Ke$ha (who is not using her trademark autotune barrage), so I'm not even getting impressive vocal wank to take the edge off the dullness. I mean, it's not the worst thing I've ever heard, but it leaves barely any impression whatsoever. Even the hook is subpar.
I'm "praying" that this is just some misguided attempt to reintroduce herself to the world as a "legitimate" artist with "class" and "substance", and the rest of her next album is going to be label-mandated club bangers with at least SOME autotune cheese. I already knew she was dropping her party girl rap schtick, but if this is any indication then maybe she should at least keep her wheelhouse within shouting distance.
Oh yeah, and this song is actually about praying (and Dr. Luke naturally). So she's on God's dick now apparently.
