The reigning Queen of Auto-Tune took a break from her crazy, beautiful life and collaborated with the unfortunate King of Auto-Tune, will.i.am, on her latest single.

Ke$ha took to Twitter to reveal “Crazy Kids” as her new single, tweeting “get. ready. ANIMALS!!!” alongside the single’s cover art April 18, 2013.

“Crazy Kids” is the third official single from Ke$ha’s sophomore album, Warrior, which was released last December.

The single debuted to mixed reviews from fans on Ke$ha’s YouTube channel April 19, 2013.

YouTube users commenting on the video are overwhelmingly against the remix, citing a dislike of will.i.am and a preference for the original version.

Don’t write the track off yet, however. Quite a few “animals” on YouTube have expressed their love for the track and have rallied in support of Ke$ha’s decision to release a remixed version as a single.

Take a listen below and let us know what you think in the comments! Do you think will.i.am gives the track an edge, or is it a bust?
