- Kesha is a now a solo artist
- She has released a new single without her old label
- HERE is the scoop
Kesha, the pop sensation known for her electrifying tracks and unapologetic spirit, has just dropped her latest single, "Joyride," and it's nothing short of a musical explosion!
The sensation is back
Released on the patriotic waves of July 4, this track not only marks Kesha's first release since her departure from RCA Records and Vector Management but also her first as an independent artist. It's a celebration of freedom, resilience, and, of course, pure Kesha flair.
"Joyride" comes with a lyric video that's as fiery as the track itself, featuring visuals of a truck and bold lyrics that scream independence and defiance. Kesha's message is clear: she's rich, unbothered, and on a joyride of her own making. Co-written with Madison Love and produced by Zhone, this track is a testament to Kesha's enduring talent and her ability to craft hits that resonate.
Ahead of the release, Kesha teased fans with snippets and images on her social media, including a cheeky photo with a 7-Eleven slurpee cup emblazoned with the song title. The anticipation built to a crescendo until the song finally hit the airwaves, accompanied by a video of Kesha belting it out with friends, declaring, "MY NEW SINGLE JOYRIDE IS OUT NOW."
But the journey to 'Joyride' wasn't without its bumps. Kesha has been on a long road to reclaiming her voice, hinting at new music back in March with a video that symbolized her newfound freedom.
After a nearly decade-long legal battle with producer Dr. Luke, which concluded with a settlement and public statements from both parties in June 2023, Kesha is finally free to make music on her own terms.
"Freedom, I’ve been waiting for you. Everything’s changed now, we haven’t talked in a while," she sang in the clip shared on Instagram at the time, while directing fans to a new website.
"I’ll say … to all my fans, all my animals, this has been a ride. I’ll say that there is a day — although I won’t say the day — but there is a day marked on my calendar when I am free to release music," she said when asked what she wanted to "put out there into the world."
This release is not just a song; it's a declaration of independence, a celebration of Kesha's resilience, and a joyride fans are all too eager to join.
