Rihanna will not be on Ke$ha's new album, but lots of people from bands will be

Dr Luke's been chatting away about the new Ke$ha album, 'Warrior', and spe­cific­ally the people she has and hasn't worked with on it.

"I'm going to tell you right now: There's no Rihanna," he confirmed to MTV. "I don't know where that came from. I've seen it all over the place, but there's def­in­itely not a Rihanna song on it."

Oh well. Still, we're sure there's bound to be an amazing roster of pop talent involved, right?

"Iggy Pop is on the record, Patrick [Carney] from the Black Keys is on it, another sick drummer we have is Fabrizio Moretti from the Strokes on it and [frontman] Julian Casablancas plays on some stuff and Wayne Coyne from the Flaming Lips did a song."

Oh dear.

He went on to say that the album is "uptempo" and "raw" and doesn't have "a whole lot of pro­duc­tion" on it.

"She's singing songs with no doubles on it from the beginning to the end of the song, which you never hear in music anymore. She has a stellar voice, and it's funny that a lot of people haven't realized that, but they will now, for sure," he concluded.

'Warrior' is out on December 4 but isn't finished yet appar­ently.
