celeb news Hannah Diamond: "Kesha's first album is one of my favorite pop albums ever"

[TomTom]

Quote

48 HILLS I was looking at the credits for this record, and it seems like it’s a broader set of collaborators this time around—David Gamson, Guy Sigsworth, Jenn Decilveo, and then also Kesha and [DJ duo] Nervo. So I was interested in how all those collaborations came about.

 

HANNAH DIAMOND I think the first proper session that I did with Dave was with Jenn in LA, maybe four, five years ago? That was for “Staring At the Ceiling.” And that session went so well. I felt like me and Dave really gelled. I came away from that session feeling like, “Wow, I really love that song. That feels like that’s going to be something really solid.”

 

Then, when I was thinking about, “What am I gonna do for my next record, who’s going to produce it?” and all this stuff, I knew that one of my priorities was to get back into the studio with Dave. A lot of these collaborations came from needing to come back to LA to work with Dave. Obviously Cecile Believe is one of SOPHIE’s really good friends and collaborators, so I already knew Cecile and really wanted to work with her. And I met Nate Campany through Dave, because they’ve worked together quite a lot. 

 

Through working with Dave, when we were writing the album, he told me about this track that he’d written with the Nervos and Kesha for her first album that didn’t make the cut. But he said he’d kept thinking about it in relation to my album because a lot of the themes were pretty similar. He dug out the file and I was like, “Wow, this is such an amazing song!” And Dave was like, “Yeah, Kesha didn’t feel like it was quite right for her. What would you think about us asking her and the Nervos if we could do something with it?” And I was like, “I would love that!”

 

Kesha’s first album was, and is, one of my favorite pop albums ever, and that album is how me and AG [Cook] came to know about Dave’s stuff. Because we were really obsessed with this song called “Stephen” [which is coproduced and cowritten by Gamson] on her first album.

Nothing ever made more sense. It is a great debut. Dated but that's the charm of it. Cannibal is fantastic too. Never got into the rest though.

Okay this just made me listen to the whole album front to back and it actually held up way better than I remember

 

Boots & Boys, Dinosaur, Animal, PAARDH, Stephen >>>>>
 

A classic! No wonder I stanned

[AvadaKedavra]

Animal is Electropo with personality. Some of her unreleased from that time are amazing
The aesthethic was also really cool. i wish Kesha would go back to that synthpop-electronic sound fullly
Her country and folk and ethereal songs in gag order are great but i think she should bring back some of that glittery fun 
She's too serious today
