Kesha is a free woman. At 37, the American singer behind the hits “Tik Tok”, “Die Young” and “Timber” is enjoying her new independence. Indeed, she was finally able to leave Dr Luke’s Kemosabe label, after several years of legal battle following accusations of sexual assault against her former producer. The two parties reached an amicable agreement and are therefore no longer contractually bound. To start this new chapter, Kesha also parted ways with her management team, signing with Crush Management (Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Green Day…). « I have never felt happier, more excited, more at peace and never had such a goal in my entire life. And I feel like I have earned the right to be this happy. I am loving every minute of what feels like a brand new and exciting chapter. ” confides the artist to V Magazinerevealing that he had written ” seven and ten songs ” in two weeks.

“It’s absolutely incredible”
To start this new page, Kesha has everything planned, including creating her own label Kesha Records. And she doesn’t plan on just making up the charts! Indeed, she will release the song “Joyride” on July 4 (symbolic Independence Day in the United States), which will therefore be her very first single without Kemosabe and RCA Records. And to increase the pressure, the pop star presented it exclusively during a concert at the queer Outloud festival in Los Angeles. This is my first show as a f*cking free woman. Anyone else feel free tonight? ” Kesha told the crowd before performing “Joyride” for the very first time. And the early feedback has been overwhelming! ” Kesha’s new single “Joyride” is insane. It’s absolutely incredible. It’s my favorite dance pop song of 2024. It’s the single I’ve been hoping for her to drop for a decade. Kesha is back and I’m losing my mind ” writes music journalist Hugh McIntyre on X.
In the process, many other comments have acclaimed this new song from Kesha. My jaw dropped, holy shit, I can’t wait », « She assured », « It looks so fresh and different, I’m here for his risk taking » or « Pop music is so back! ” we can read, although many do not seem so excited. Kesha’s last album was released in May 2023 with “Gag Order”.
