Cannibal

Cannibal is the seventh project (first EP) I have listened to and officially ranked. Additionally, it is the first project of Kesha's I have listened to. This was the second project and first EP of Kesha and it was released on November 19, 2010. The album had two singles: "We R Who We R" and "Blow". They are eligible for 4x platinum and 3x platinum certifications by the RIAA respectively. "We R Who We R" and "Blow" peaked at #1 and #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively. The EP peaked at #15 on the Billboard 200 with 74,000 units sold and is certified gold by the RIAA as of June 3, 2011. "Cannibal" was originally intended to be a re-release of "Animal" but was eventually released a separate project. Eventually, an "Animal + Cannibal" compilation album was released.

Review
I've always loved Kesha for as long as I can forever, but I think it was around 6th grade when I "stanned" her (before I even knew what that meant). Obviously I only got into album/EP listening last year, and "Cannibal" was my first choice, and it was probably a good thing since it was short and I could look forward to more album cuts later in "Animal" and "Warrior". I was already anticipating "Rainbow" at the time (I think) so it was a lot of fun going back. Anyways, let's get to the quality - and this is such a good EP. First of all, "The Harold Song" is simultaneously heartbreaking and amazing to listen to, and then we have "We R Who We R" which is just an iconic, dance-pop LGBTQ+ anthem. "Blow" is also iconic and I can't help but associate it with the ice cream Victorious episode. "Cannibal" is perfect for Halloween with its cannibalistic metaphors and "Grow a Pear" may seem "transphobic" on paper (But I just can't date a dude with a vag) but I can't help but bop to it, plus I'm pretty sure she just meant to call the guy a pussy lol. Easily the worst song is "C U Next Tuesday" (clearly spelling out c**t, If U Seek Amy teas) which sounds straight out of 2003, but even then I don't hate it at all, just nothing I would ever seek out. Overall, it's very strong for an EP and it's (probably) better than "Animal". [8/10]
