For those of you who haven't heard about it, Kesha is about to release a new album, entitled "Rainbow." It's being fully released on August 11th, 2017. With that being said, why is this not a bigger deal? This is the first album she's released since her battle to escape her contract with Sony after the Dr. Luke fiasco. Not only is it a good sign for her career, it's a beautiful sign for her mental state, and deserves more appreciation.
The single "Praying" off the album is a raw, emotional look at Kesha's mindset after the whole experience. While I can't say for certain, it sounds like it's an ode to Dr. Luke and the whole Sony team, but not in the way you'd think. Instead of being angry (which she totally should be), She takes a calmer, rising above, conquering tone. It is her battle cry, and a beautiful statement to everyone who tried to keep her down. It's also her showing the Nay-Sayers that she can rise above anything they throw her way.
The next single, "Woman," is a song that needs to be played on the radio every day, so everyone can hear it. It's an anthem for all of womankind, and Kesha is unapologetically a boss ass bitch who doesn't need a man, and she's showing us that that isn't a problem. In today's society where 'woman' is synonymous with 'inferior', Kesha is reminding us that we are a beautiful gender, and society can't get us down unless we let it.
The last single to be released, as of July 29th, 2017, is entitled "Learn to Let Go" and it is possibly the most important single on the album. This song has some really powerful lyrics, that can't be fully appreciated until you've heard the song a few times through. She's speaking from the heart, and showing us all that her struggles have only helped her grow more as a person. "Life ain't always fair, but hell is in resentment. Choose redemption, your happy ending's up to you" ("Learn To Let Go", Kesha).
Basically, these songs are diamonds and deserve all the appreciation this world has to offer it. But rest assured, there's more to come from this new found Kesha, so make sure and keep an eye out for all of the above-mentioned songs, and the songs to come on the 11th. I can guarantee she's going to blow us all away with what comes next, so hold on tight. This is gonna be a wild, beautiful ride.
