In a bold move signaling her artistic rebirth, Kesha teases 'Joy Ride,' her first new track since her emancipation from a tumultuous legal battle and breaking free from her former label.
- Jun 30, 2024
AceShowbiz - Pop sensation Ke$ha is set to make a triumphant return to the music scene with her new song "Joy Ride," slated for a July 4 release. This will be her first release since settling her nearly decade-long defamation lawsuit against Dr. Luke and parting ways with his Kemosabe label under RCA.
The singer took to Instagram over the weekend, sharing a vibrant snippet of the upcoming song. In the video, Kesha is seen donning stylish red outfits - striking a pose on a car, riding in a convertible, and holding a cardboard sign displaying the track's name. Echoing the song's empowering vibe, she declares, "You're right, I am a b***h."
The release date, Independence Day, aptly symbolizes Kesha's newfound freedom, making it a day of personal and artistic celebration for the artist. Fans have eagerly awaited new material since Kesha celebrated her legal victory and began her journey as an independent artist.
Her exhilarating performance at WeHo Pride's Outloud Fest, where she debuted an unreleased song fittingly titled "Freedom," marked her first show as a "free mother**king woman." During her set, Kesha asked the crowd, "Anybody else feeling free as f**k tonight?" embodying the spirit of liberation that has come to define her recent work.
"Joy Ride" not only signifies Kesha's return but also sets the stage for the pop landscape this summer. Interestingly, Kesha's release is closely followed by Katy Perry's "Woman's World," arriving a week later.
Perry's track is part of her forthcoming sixth album, co-produced by Dr. Luke along with Max Martin, Stargate, among others. This continued collaboration illustrates the contrasting paths of two industry giants.
As fans gear up for the much-anticipated release of "Joy Ride," Kesha's personal and professional transformation serves as an inspiring story of resilience and reclamation. The new single promises to be a bold declaration of independence, fittingly timed to resonate on a day dedicated to freedom.
