Ke$ha: 'New album will show my vulnerable side'

Ke$ha has revealed that she wants to showcase her vulnerable side on her upcoming album.

The singer is expected to release the follow-up to 2010's Animal later this year and has previously admitted that it will be inspired by '70s rock.

However, the star has now confessed that fans can expect to hear a more vulnerable side to her on the new record after her emotional cover of Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice, It's Alright'.

Ke$ha told MTV News: "I have learned over the past three years of doing this that being vulnerable doesn't mean you're weak. I very much want to be seen as a strong woman, but I realise that vulnerability can also be a strength.

"So on my next record, you are going to hear probably a little more of that. I'm not going to make an acoustic, sad entire record.

"But you might hear a little bit more vulnerability on the next record 'cause I have realised just from this Dylan cover coming out [on Amnesty International's anniversary album] that it can be such a strength and a nice balance to humanise the other side of my personality."

Talking about the album's progress, she added: "I've been writing but I haven't gone in with [producer Dr Luke] yet. He's working on stuff and I'm working on stuff for it. But [to] actually start, we go into the studio in January, early January."

Ke$ha recently released a remix of her track 'Sleazy', which features Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Andre 3000 and TI.
