I try not to be too negative on this space because we don't really need anymore negativity and criticism in the world, but I also haven't really hid the fact that I do not love Ke$ha. She seems like a fraud to me, just as contrived and packaged as the boy bands and Jessica Simpsons/Mandy Moores of the late 90s early 00s. It is obvious that Ke$ha is thriving off the success of Lady Gaaga, and M.I.A., even pointed out that Lady Gaga is not as inventive as she's given credit for. (I don't whole heartedly agree with that statement either).
With this in mind I want to introduce you to the woman the Ke$ha really ripped off. Uffie has been around since 2006, but is just now putting out her debut album. Sex Dreams and Denim Dreams will be released May 31, 2010. The American born but Paris based artist as worked with fellow Franco-Based Justice, and probably is best known for a single called "Pop the Glock". I just read an Elle review that said she's taken four years to release her debut because she was nervous about all the hype surrounding her. I think what pushed her to get this album out was the rise of Ke$ha and the realization that she was being totally ripped off, and that there are probably just going to be more of these less than talented knock offs taking her thunder.
Hopefully with her performance at SXSW she will start having more success in the States. Until May 31st you can check out her music here...
