The new album, which is Ke$ha's second full-length release, features collaborations with the likes of will.i.am, Wayne Coyne of alt-rock weirdos The Flaming Lips, punk godfather Iggy Pop, Patrick Carney of rockers The Black Keys and singer-songwriterBen Folds.  "Die Young" was co-written by Nate Ruess from fun.

In a statement, Ke$ha said, "I am so excited to finally share WARRIOR with all of my amazing ANIMALS. I’ve been working for a year on this new record and have collaborated with some of my idols. This process has been long and intense and I couldn’t be more stoked to share this music. I hope with WARRIOR my fans get to know me in a much more raw and vulnerable way.”

WARRIOR will be available as both a 12-track album and a 16-track deluxe edition.  An exclusive version of the disc sold only through KeshasParty.com will include a special five-song acoustic EP.
