Kesha, previously known as Ke$ha has finally released a new powerful song showcasing the new woman she has become after all her legal battles and struggle!
Kesha has been locked into a music contract and a legal battle with Dr. Luke, her former producer! Back in 2014 she filed a lawsuit against the producer saying he exploited and abused her sexually and emotionally. He then counter-sued her.
With judges continuously ruling in favor of the abusive producer, Kesha lost her light and passion! She was unable to escape his clutches and move on with her personal life and music career! She was locked into her music contract with Dr. Luke’s company Kemosabe Records.
Thankfully earlier this year Sony, the parent company to Kemosabe Records, decided to cut ties with the Kemosabe CEO Dr. Luke. Ousting him from his company and cutting off the relationship completely. This has obviously left Kesha free to work again.
She started working on her first album in 5 years, titling it ‘Rainbow’, it is set to be released this August! Kesha recently released the first single off the upcoming album. ‘Praying’ is a powerful ballad about her struggles and learning forgiveness!
“This song is about coming to feel empathy for someone else even if they hurt you or scare you, it’s a song about learning to be proud of the person you are even during low moments when you feel alone. It’s also about hoping everyone, even someone who hurt you, can heal.” – Kesha
With lyrics like “Well, you almost had me fooled, Told me that I was nothing without you, Oh, and after everything you’ve done, I can thank you for how strong I have become”, you can tell she is taking this experience and turning it into her own power!
