}} ''Cannibal'' is the debut extended play (EP) by American recording artist Kesha, released on November 19, 2010. The EP is a follow-up companion to her debut album, ''Animal''. Originally, the record was thought to be released as a deluxe edition of ''Animal'', but was instead sold and released as both an EP and a deluxe edition of ''Animal''. Kesha worked with a variety of producers and writers such as executive producer Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco, Ammo, Max Martin, Bangladesh and others. Musically, the songs on ''Cannibal'' are of the dance-pop genre, with some songs incorporating elements of electro and electropop in their production and beats. Throughout the album, the use of Auto-Tune and vocoders is prominent. Lyrically, the songs on ''Cannibal'' speak of ignoring judgement or hate and experiences based on love and heartbreak. ''Cannibal'' received generally positive reviews from music critics. However, a common complaint amongst critics was the overuse of Auto-Tune, while the album's production was generally highlighted. The album's lyrics generally polarized music critics; some praised her boldness, while others criticized them as being too raunchy. In the United States, the EP reached a peak of fifteen selling 74,000 copies in its first week of release. In Canada, the album achieved similar success reaching a peak of fourteen on the chart. ''Cannibal'' was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of 500,000 copies. Two singles were released from the album. The lead single, "We R Who We R", was a worldwide success, reaching number one in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, and charting within the top ten in numerous other countries. In the United States, the song became the seventeenth song in the ''Billboard'' Hot 100's history to debut at number one. The album's second single, "Blow", was released on February 8, 2011. The song accomplished top ten positions in multiple countries including Australia, New Zealand and the United States. ==Background and development== Originally believed to only be a re-release of her debut album ''Animal'', ''Cannibal'' was instead released both as a deluxe edition of ''Animal'' as well as a standalone extended play (EP).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kesha Wants to Be ‘Gangster,’ Says Producer )〕 The EP has been classified as a follow up "nine-song companion" record to ''Animal''.〔 ''Cannibal'' was originally intended to contain anywhere between four to eight tracks with the final outcome instead consisting of eight tracks, and a remix of her debut album's title track, for a total of nine tracks.〔 Partial recording of the album took place during September 2010, at Conway Studios with Dr. Luke again as the executive producer. Kesha recorded the abundance of ''Cannibal'' over a two-week span with a variety of producers; the short recording period was due to her only being available for a limited amount of time due to prior commitments.〔 During an interview with ''Billboard'' conducted by Chris Willman, one of the potential songs for the album was used as an example of how Luke and Kesha collaborated to create a song for this record: "There's an unfinished chorus on this new track, in which Gottwald is singing through such distorted Auto-Tune, it's impossible to tell what he's saying-which is deliberate, so he won't unduly influence Ke$ha when she comes up with her own lyrics."〔 Like her debut album, Kesha worked with some previous producers and writers that worked with her on her first album, such as: Dr. Luke, Ammo, Benny Blanco and Max Martin.〔 Unlike her debut album though, Kesha enlisted the help of producer Bangladesh.〔 She explained the reason for enlisting his help was that she wanted to "add a tougher edge to her music".〔 She said that the message she wanted to put out through this album was to create "good, positive, () music". She elaborated, "I feel like I’m creating this hopefully very youthful and irreverent movement of the kids, of like adolescence. I feel like the parents don’t get it, but the kids get it. And they deserve to have more good, positive music.”〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cannibal (EP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
