Looks like the "Tik Tok" singer found another outlet to let us know what she enjoys in life beyond the glitter and Jack Daniels. Touchstone has signed with Ke$ha to expose the pop singer's life in her new illustrated memoir, "My Crazy Beautiful Life." The book is scheduled to release on Nov. 20, just before her new album "Warrior" comes out on Dec. 4.

According to Touchstone, the book will feature the 25-year-old's "thoughts and reflections," including pictures from childhood to her singing career.

 "In less than three years I've gone from being the worst waitress in LA to living out my childhood dreams of singing my songs to people all over the world," Ke$ha said in a statement. "Sometimes, it feels as if the last few years have encompassed a few decades. You might have heard my voice on the radio, seen me  onstage and on the red carpet, or in a music video, but that's only a part of the story. In these pages, I'm revealing a more complete picture of what my life is really like. It's not all glamorous and its not all pretty, but it's all real."

MTV noted Grammy-nominated superproducer Dr. Luke talks about the album's surprising less auto-tuned production. "There are definitely some very raw songs in there with not a whole lot of production," he said, "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."

Looks like Ke$ha wants to show the world who she really is, exposing her life and her natural singing voice. This will be a drastic change from the very popular, but very auto-tuned hits like, "Tik Tok", "We R Who We R" and "Your Love is My Drug."
