Kesha’s new single, “Joyride,” is a pure celebration, a dance party anthem that takes us back to the early 2010s with a little extra modern edge. With what Kesha has been through with her lawsuit against former producer Dr Luke and then his defamation countersuit, it has felt like Kesha’s music career has had to take a backseat to the drama. But if you have been paying attention, you know she has been writing songs and experimenting with her music, awaiting the day she would be free from her 6 album deal with Dr Luke’s Kemosabe Records (part of RCA), and that time is now!
Released on July 4th on her own new label, Kesha Records, this is more than a song; it is a joyful scream of independence and freedom. It is a party song for those who give no fucks. Clearly, Kesha has been honing her songwriting craft and saving the best for herself. I can’t wait to see what is coming next.
