Underneath all the glitter is a serious artist.
"Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You"
Fun fact: this song was written by Kesha's mother, Pebe Sebert. Originally recorded by country singer Joe Sun, the lovelorn ballad became a huge hit in the early '80s when Dolly Parton covered it for her album Dolly, Dolly, Dolly. Kesha recorded a version for her chronically underrated 2013 EP, Deconstructed. Simple, straightforward, and utterly heartbreaking, Kesha's cover of "Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You" is proof that underneath all the glitz, glitter, and party anthems is a serious artist with impressive pipes and real depth.
"The Harold Song"
While Kesha's cover of "Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You" is undeniably great, it's only a surprise if you've never heard "The Harold Song." Included on the pop star's 2010 Cannibal EP, "The Harold Song" is a big, bold electro-ballad about losing your first love. It'll make you want to dance and cry at the same time.
