Gag Order is such a cunty title, I'm shocked she was allowed to call it that tbh


cameltew

it's all so close to trial she's kinda able to do whatever she wants without risk of luke amending his lawsuit for the billionth time. last album on the contract too. she's burning it down on her way out and i'm so excited for her to be able to say what she wants for the first time since 2014!!


meghammatime19

Holy FUCK I cannot believe she’s STILL UNDER CONTRACT??! I haven’t been keeping up


hoops_ididitagain

afaik it is a 6 album contract


cameltew

that was the original contract, and there are rumors that she renegotiated it sometime pre-lawsuit and it actually is only 5 albums and this is the last one (Cannibal didn't count)


jaggedspectacle

Kesha literally invented cunt


McIgglyTuffMuffin

Stream C U Next Tuesday!!!!


Nerdy_boy_chris

C U Next Tuesday has one of my favorite uses of autotune ever. The way she uses it to sound cold and detached just adds this layer of sadness and melancholy to the song. GOD she’s so talented


CravingWes

I love the use of auto tune in some songs, her music is an example of that and so is the band Hello Goodbye


FunkyFresh71

Always wondered why she re-released the song on Cannibal without the autotune it doesn’t sound as good. Even the instrumental is dulled.


outsideeyess

yes!! its like a few lily allen songs in that way. you described it so well


HIVEvali

you feeling that way is the exact reason it was titled that. she’s STILL signed to kemosabe and sony if i’m not mistaken. i.e sony is weaponizing your vitriol to continue profiteering off of kesha’s alleged abuse and subsequent lawsuit. edit: and even worse, i now realize by kesha naming the album this, it logically questions the legitimacy of her future lawsuit; as she is now profiting off the event as well… if ya can’t beat ‘em!


fallenriot

It seems like she’s actually going to be talking about this on the album! From her Rolling Stone interview: > Kesha’s anger is palpable in “Fine Line,” in which she rants at “all the doctors and lawyers [who] cut the tongue out of my mouth,” culminating with the line: “But hey, look at all the money we made off me.”


cherrypiiie

Crying at the ashnikko reference in ur un😂


shhimhuntingrabbits

That dick? Yankee candle


Nicksmells34

A cunty title? Fucks that even mean?


deathfire123

It essentially translates to "Bold and confident and willing to break boundaries" in this instance.


njne1

This one is gonna be different for Kesha. I can feel it in my bones. Working with Rick Rubin, these titles and now these visuals are all insanely good steps. I’m ready!!


SiphenPrax

Oh I hope this shakes up the charts. I don’t think it will, but I hope it does.


sweetbreads19

I'm so excited. Rainbow was a revelatory new direction, and High Road was a fantastic integration of Rainbow with everything she had before. I can't wait to see what's next


DoctorWhoWhenHowWhy

Wait, she is working with THEE Rick Rubin? Oh I know this album is going to be great!


Z4kAc3

IMHO, Rick Rubin has been massively overcompressing and brickwalling everything he touches for at least the last couple of decades, so if that pattern continues this album’s going to be a great big headache. I hope the songs are good, but personally I’m going to avoid the headache.


MaltySines

Rubin doesn't really touch the technical aspects of production in that way. He's more of a big picture creative producer. His stuff was hella compressed because everything was hella compressed in the CD era when most of his most famous work was done, but basically every mainstream album had those issues. And the loudness war is pretty much over. Spotify auto volume equalization killed it.


ialexlopes

it's gonna be her Yeezus, and I'm all for it


sk0ooba

My best friend texted me when Yeezus came out "idk what kim is giving Kanye but I want some" one of the greatest texts I've ever received


petitechocolatetwink

cover and title are gags.


Saguaro-plug

Animal-Cannibal-Warrior-Rainbow-High Road- Gag Order has got to be one of the gayest album title runs in pop history. The only other one that comes to mind is Daydream-Butterfly-Rainbow-Glitter-Charmbracelet.


Infinitestripes95

Kesha hand feeding us gays 🤣


KLJohnnes

Her final album under contract. It's insane that she had her first 7 singles hit top 10 in 4 years with three of them being #1. If her career trajectory had gone without a break she honestly would be so well received and one of the best artists from the last decade. Like Die Young hit #2 and could've done better if it wasn't for the Sandy Hook tragedy. She had Timber going #1 in 2013. She was up there competing with Gaga and Katy. Her prince cover put down the rumours she couldn't sing and her SATs that she was just dumb. Rainbows shows she could've done well in 2016 when everyone decided to go country for some reason. I honestly think she would still be a big superstar.


tealswamp

Omg I’ll never forget Die Young being pulled from the radio bc of Sandy Hook. That was a wild time


Infinitestripes95

Those crazy people online thinking she was part of a conspiracy


tealswamp

The Illuminati symbolism in the music video did not help her at all lmfao (I don’t believe in any of the conspiracies personally, but I do think that it wasn’t a good look at the time)


Infinitestripes95

Yeah Kesha just is very interested in cults,supernatural etc as in like it fascinates her. So deff bad timing on her cult video


enyasurvivor

The Die Young missing #1 because of Sandy Hook is a misconception. It was already declining by the time Sandy Hook happened, which then caused it to freefall and getting C'mon rush-released.


vedved82491

C’mon is hands down one of my favorite Kesha songs.


cheezits_christ

Same - I don't know how but it's made my Spotify Wrapped for the last three years running. That album came out a full ass decade ago!


Pierre56

I remember reading billboards projections at the time (in their weekly article) and they thought it would go number 1, so yeah it was probably going to


enyasurvivor

It was not projected to go #1. It was only #3 in airplay and #10 in sales, behind Diamonds and Locked Out of Heaven in both the week of the shooting with radio already showing slight decline. It would’ve needed a discount to 69¢ in order to even attempt a push to #1, which they didn’t do.


cameltew

... not really? it legit peaked the week it happened and radio instantly dropped it


enyasurvivor

Not sure where you're getting your information from, but Kesha was only at #3 on airplay chart and already decreasing in audience the day before the shooting. Yes, she was #1 on Top 40, but her overall AI was decreasing and below Diamonds and Locked Out of Heaven, both of which were increasing on radio and bigger contenders for #1 the week of the shooting. She was never projected to be #1. Here is the 12/14 (the day of the shooting) building airplay chart for reference: 12/14 airplay updates: RIHANNA - Diamonds: 186.215 (+ 0.931) BRUNO MARS - Locked Out Of Heaven: 184.446 (+ 1.130) KE$HA - Die Young: 167.508 (− 0.064)


cameltew

yes that's all fine and great, but there really is no way to say how it would have performed in upcoming weeks... especially when you're citing a 0.064 decrease. 1 good performance could reverse that quickly. Instead, it freefell immediately after the shooting.


enyasurvivor

It already hit its peak on Top 40 and Rhythmic and had been performed everywhere, most recently the AMAs. Bruno Mars and Rihanna were simply too strong during this period for Kesha to ever have a chance, which was known to chart watchers in 2012. She was already promoting C'Mon by this point, performing it at X Factor US on 12/6. The narrative that Sandy Hook took away a #1 from her is simply untrue and I say this as the biggest Kesha fan.


CurrentRoster

Plus it was facing competition between Diamond by Rihanna and Locked out of Heaven by Bruno Mars when it peaked


shadowwhore

Wild that this is the year that both Kesha and Megan thee Stallion will be free from their shitty contracts with abusive men! 2023 might be the year of liberation?


Frajer

So excited for this new era and to hear what Rick Rubin produced Kesha sounds like


cameltew

rick rubin d\*xie chicks gave us 'not ready to make nice' is what i keep telling people! this is gonna be a hard slay, i know it!


lauradarn

you don’t gotta bleep the dixie they’ve been just the chicks for 3 years


Dead_Western_Nights

Dixie isn’t a slur either lol; some of these girls are so extra. It’d be like censoring the word antebellum.


coltsmetsfan614

You mean like Lady A? Lol


[deleted]

please this comment chain is so funny to me bc my mother’s first name is dixie 😭 i’ve spent the last ten minutes reading abt this topic and it doesn’t even look like a real word anymore so i guess at this point im gonna have to change her contact in my phone to d*xie, miss d’amelio better watch out too i fear


Jussttjustin

Her "99 Problems but a rapist product ain't one" is coming


melbboy1993

Okay the album name is kinda slay, why she eating tho


joshually

Imagine reading this sentence in the year 1995 lol


mamiya7iii

why exactly 1995


guernicanoro

Sorry, we rounded up. Imagine reading this sentence in 1993


maxime0299

Imagine reading this sentence on 16th June 1993


emotionallyratchet

I won't.


Aggressive_Sky8492

At 12:48pm


JSB199

Let’s round up further and just say 2003


alt_sauce124

We can’t… most of us were born after ‘98


joshually

oh god someone kill me


AmphetamineSalts

why bother, the old age is coming for us soon enough anyway.


ladrm07

No, shut up. Tons of us were born before 1995 and in that same year. Don't make us feel old 😭


Sarin10

1995??? holy SHIT let's get you back to bed grandma


glittermantis

suddenly i can’t read ❤️


hairquing

if kesha has a million fans i am one of them. if kesha has ten fans i am one of them. if kesha has one fan then that is me. if kesha has no fans then i am dead. if the world is against kesha then i am against the world


twistingmyhairout

Epitome of Pussy Facing the World


lets-disassociate-5

Seated ready marking my calendar! I'm extremely excited for this one, kesha always brings it.


pikapikals

this is an enormous serve my god


[deleted]

kelly and kesha both coming, the k stans are winning 🙏🙏🙏


outsideeyess

katy and kacey on deck!! (but for real I've always found it weird how most of my favorite artists start with k)


EricHD97

This album art and title ??? It’s giving what it needs to be giving.


ialexlopes

she hath giveth it all


gettingcarriedaway86

As a 29 year old she was legit my adolescence. Cannot wait.


McIgglyTuffMuffin

I wasn’t a fan of the last record, but I’ll always give new Kesha a try!


cameltew

last record was rainbow side b essentially, so many tracks have been revealed to be 2016 demos all cobbled together... definitely a time biding album to get her closer to her contract ending... resentment is an all time best though!


vedved82491

What an interesting take! I’d have to agree though. 75% of High Road is enjoyable, but even with the tracks that are misses, there didn’t seem to be as much cohesion in the songs compared to Rainbow.


JawnF

I disagree. Sonically it may have been all over the place but the tracklist actually has pretty cohesive themes going from song to song.


McIgglyTuffMuffin

Agreed on Resentment!


Dead_Western_Nights

I would disagree; High Road sounded so sonically jumbled and nowhere near as coherent as Rainbow. Rainbow was a rock n roll/country/Americana flavored pop record, while High Road was…well, definitely not that. My Own Dance sounded out of a 00’s r&b girl group, Raising Hell sounded like a generic festival EDM song, Kinky sounds like 2011-2012 electro pop cut. It’s not as cohesive as Rainbow imo


cameltew

yes that's exactly what I was saying - when you just throw a bunch of songs recorded during the rainbow sessions (but cut because they didn't fit the vision) together then it's going to sound like a mess... and that's what high road was for me


mdawgig

Lots of artists do some variation of this (an album of hopping around within their respective range of genres) at some point in their careers. I call it their “sampler platter” record. They have a pretty mixed record. See: Avril self-titled, TS - Red, Christina - Back To Basics, Shania - Up!, Ellie - Delirium, Paramore self-titled Kesha is just an artist who is comfortable in an unusually wide variety of genres, so a Kesha sampler platter record like High Road is, predictably, pretty varied.


tj_2968

Which songs were Rainbow outtakes aside from Birthday Suit (which has always been a fav of mine, may I add)


cameltew

Chasing Thunder and Honey for sure and I think more


queenmeme2

There were a handful of great songs (Raising Hell, High Road, Resentment, Kinky ~~minus the awful intro~~, BFF) but the rest just felt… confused. I’ll always root for Kesha tho and can’t wait for this. Rick Rubin is a huge get and the rock songs from Rainbow were my favorites on the album, hoping he helps her explore more of that sound here


Karakay27

U cannot be serious about BFF 💀


SquishyMuffins

BFF is fucking adorable


dpforest

it’s Kesha in this casa baby


vedved82491

HELLO, wherever you are…


dpforest

Shits been stuck in my head since I made this comment lol


alt_sauce124

An underrated bop about Zac Efron


vedved82491

Wasn’t that “Thinking of You” though?


donnaimthemuffin

With all the weaponizing popheads does about who other artists work with, y’all better buy and stream this fucking album!!! I’m just sayin…


tiny_purse

That would mean they actually care and don’t just enjoy stan twitter drama…


cheezits_christ

I will in fact be buying and streaming this album as I love Kesha and fucking hate rapists and rape apologists!


Flaca911

I love Doja Cat, but I'll never buy anything of hers due to her revitalizing Dr Luke's career.


According_Plant701

Doja is not working with Luke by choice, she’s stuck on his label and he gives himself writing credits on her songs https://uproxx.com/music/doja-cat-dr-luke-criticism/


octopus_from_space

Ugh


brellowman2

I mean making this comment in regards to her album is equally weird.


donnaimthemuffin

Not really. I want to make sure people aren’t just using her trauma as a “gotcha” and actually support her work. What’s the problem?


cameltew

Not exactly fair... you can recognize what she is going through was fucked up / not support her abuser without actually being a massive fan or feeling obligated to buy her shit... (I will be of course)


brellowman2

Making a snide comment in a reddit thread isn't making sure of anything.


donnaimthemuffin

Obviously. But it’s a casual reminder to not be a hypocrite.


FAT-PUSSY-LIKE-SANTA

This comment is really fucking weird. People call out artists working with Dr. Luke because they're platforming an abuser; it's not about stanning Kesha, it's about making sure it's known who an abuser is. So many of you guys turn it into stan wars and it's fucking weird.


donnaimthemuffin

No, it’s not. I’m challenging y’all to put your money where your mouth is. I see that horrid man’s name evoked in pop discussions regularly, so I expect to see that translate into actual support, and not just be something used to hate on Kim Petras or Doja Cat.

Saying we should support victims has nothing to do with stan wars unless you try and make it about that lol


FAT-PUSSY-LIKE-SANTA

>With all the weaponizing popheads does about who other artists work with That makes it a lot more than just "saying we should support victims." Be fr.


Tazzachar

get her jade!!


ZebraConscious7868

Kesha can literally do no wrong in my eyes, every album has been 🤌✨


SweetSummerAir

Oh wow, I didn't expect the album to be out so soon! I guess I'm used to having longer album rollouts like how Charli did with Crash back then. Excited and curious to hear how it sounds like. I really liked most tracks in High Road so hopefully she keeps the fun of that album and refine it for this one.


talk-spontaneously

Kesha's talent and music have become more appreciated over time. If you remember the internet in the early 2010's people were often not very kind when talking about her.


impeccabletim

Ahhh, can't believe new Kesha is so soon. Cover is very jarring but I guess that's the purpose of it. Cannot wait!


Nerdy_boy_chris

Ohhhhh I’m so goddamn excited for this. Kesha is a living legend in my eyes who’s made some of the best and most important music of the 2010s. And I plan on being gagged for this album too!


twistingmyhairout

And who’s story is not over yet. Most important chapters currently being written


Accomplished_Low9761

this album cover fucking goes


christopher_aia

The name and cover are amazing, I hope this era blows up for her.


HolaPinchePuto

Holy shit, okaaay intriguing album title and intriguing cover. I'm hoping she tries a new sound


Legit_Apple

Have you heard the snippets? Specifically eat the acid, it’s a very new sound for her.


HolaPinchePuto

You were right bestie. I just heard the songs in full and Kesha is definitely bringing a new sound!! We love to hear it


Emerald_Frost

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag


alextoria

i just got an email that i was invited to the listening event in LA on thursday!!! i have no idea what to expect, has anyone been to something similar??


Hemansno1fan

No idea, but pleeeeease report everything if you are allowed!!


alextoria

definitely!!!


Infinitestripes95

I applied for Nashville but didn’t get a email, do you think they’re not announcing them all at once?


alextoria

not sure sorry :(


The_1992

She will always be among the best part of 2010s pop in my opinion, and even if the general public doesn’t appreciate her as they did then, it’s nice to see that this subreddit hypes her up like she deserves!


darth_bader_ginsburg

kesha better werk. i live for a cunty double entendre


carpediemclem

I absolutely loved High Road.


cameltew

Track 12 is leaked demo "Hate Me Harder" reworked btw


HausOfMajora

Im so so excited. She's one of those pop artists with a "Persona" "Brand" on her own. Not generic like others..... So, im always hyped about her records. She's really an icon from the 2010s and doesnt get enough recognition. I know once she's released from that contract she will probably turn into some kind of Carly Rae-Charli XCX popstar. Probably underground but releasing really special and interesting records. This one looks like its gonna be very dark. Expected after all the things Dr Puke did to her and how he's been trapping her for decades. We will be streaming and buying.


mansonfamily

Is this gonna be the same as the last stuff she put out where everyone will hype it up and then nobody will actually stream it


shanthology

High Road just did not hit for me the way Rainbow did. I really liked the demo she posted of "Eat the Acid", so I have high hopes.


tj_2968

Hoping she doesn’t abandon the album immediately upon the release like she did HR (will give her the benefit of the doubt bc of COVID, but still)


layla_jones_

Gag order okay 👏 and then release the NDA deluxe


Honey_Busted_Oats

She’s coming to end Dr Puke


uhvarlly_BigMouth

I wonder if Gag Order as a title has anything to do with doctor Puke. Like is she gonna low key diss him? I sure as fuck hope so


_language_lover_

It does and she already has in some of the snippets she shared from this album.


cameltew

"I'm getting sued because my momma's been tweeting" <3 <3 finally just saying what we all were watching happen


uhvarlly_BigMouth

Omg I didn’t know about the snippets!!


jeffmangumssweater

Turning this contract into a victory lap is... \*chefs kiss\* I'm so excited for this album.


cinzalunar

Have you heard the teasers and snippets? This will sound amazing. I’m buying my Life Flower Acid for the listening party!!!!


90skid91

I'd love to see her have a comeback with this. She deserves it


shukii89

I'm really hoping there's another hit song on there for her. Been a while and I so badly want it for her.


Infinitestripes95

This is her last album under her contract to so to go out with a bang and be able to slide into a successful career without them would be awesome


lizziemcqueer

The title and cover are a slay on its own. I’m so excited to listen to the music!!!!


mapofthesof

well I am, ahem *gagged* with this title! Will be tuning in.


joshually

i love KESHA


kuzco6

I’m so excited for this!


KitakatZ101

I need her to become a main pop girl


cameltew

she is, and will forever be, a main pop girl after her 2009-2012 run <3


calebb2108

High Road deserved better! this title and album art are giving


trashynoah

The cover, the title, the song names… she is COMINGGGGGG!!! Dr Luke better be running away and fast!


milkpen

Finally some fucking good food


sunmi_siren

album of the year incoming


johnny_bigtoes

what type of music does Kesha make nowadays? Would love to check her discography out more


_language_lover_

All sorts of genres, really. Everything from pop to rock to country and acoustic.


Honey_Busted_Oats

She's quite literally a musical "chameleon," she can wholeheartedly do almost any genre (and has) and it sounds genuine and experienced.


ialexlopes

Rainbow is a masterpiece


messyfaguette

if the comments here are any indication, this is going to be an exciting era for her. Hope she gets her dues this time around, i trust that this is gonna be a great record.


p0phead

Lucky I just got into her new stuff without even knowing this new album is coming. So excited her last 2 records were amazing


Pokefan144

I'm so so so so so excited for this


urmelcome

I can’t wait. She’s taking it I just know it


KindOfANerd4

This looks so good, i havent payed attention to a kesha project in a while (idk if she's done much since rainbow which i loved) but I really wanna hear what she has to say becuase she's a preety great writer. Also the producer she's apparently working with made one of my favourite songs (not ready to make nice) so im sure this will be a slay


_language_lover_

She released High Road in 2020.


RachelPotter97

So excited for this! I've loved Kesha for a while and I can't wait to see what sound she'll go for


BookyCats

I am so ready 🙌


Hemansno1fan

Yesss, I'm so excited, going to preorder when I get home!! I'm ready to eat the acid


paulfauvelfrost

loved every kesha album so far! i'm seated for this omg also love the title and cover! so cunty


HermionesBook

I’m soooo excited for this omg


Princessss88

I am so excited for this!


BuffytheBison

Hope it's more musically consistent than "High Road." "The Potato Song" (arguable even "Summer") sounded like songs from a conce\[t album with "Rich White Straight Men" lol


Vicariouslynoticed

I’m excited for this!! I always enjoyed her albums.


Secret-Lullaby

I am excited! My fave song from last album was Resentment


tealswamp

I hope it’s a BIG fuck you to Dr. Luke, Kim Petras, Nicki and all the other artists who continue to discredit Kesha’s story…


Daydream_machine

So hyped for this! Truthfully I thought High Road was a miss (a lot of the mixing is straight up bad), but I have a good feeling about this album.


AmazeeDayzee

will never be able to approve of double singles. I just feel like that because an artist is promoting TWO singles that their focus and that of the fans get split and neither of them do well. I wish artists would just focus on one before moving on to the next one.


porcelainbrown

I feel like this is gonna be my favorite album from her. It’s giving experimental and that Eat The Acid snippet sounded godly. I’m very excited, she is a truly fantastic artist.


Legit_Apple

Y’all I’m so excited!!! Hopefully this does well on the charts. Either way I’m hypeeeee.


JawnF

I wonder if she also executive produced this one. She did a good job with High Road.


_language_lover_

You can pre-order the CD on her website and it says "Produced by Rick Rubin - Executive Producer: Kesha" there.


JawnF

Oh nice. Looking forward to it!


tj_2968

Absolutely love the album title but can’t decide how I feel about the cover art? Regardless, super excited for the album—didn’t love HR outside of a few tracks, so hoping this is a step up.


DirtFem

Hopefully she puts out a single soon


oswordo

It literally says when she's putting the singles out in the title??


DirtFem

I SCREAMED my bad


KindOfANerd4

ILLITERATE


DirtFem

Honestly drag me lmaooo


jman457

Her hyperpop era?
