Kesha has shared the studio version of âJoyride,â her first single of 2024 and first to be released on her own label, Kesha Records. Below, check out a lyric video for the song, which she debuted live in June at Brooklynâs Planet Pride. Kesha co-wrote the track with Zhone and Madison Love.
Kesha has touted the self-release of âJoyrideâ as a celebration of independence after a long, troubled relationship with Kemosabe, the label owned by super-producer Lukasz âDr. Lukeâ Gottwald. As with her 2017 album, Rainbow, and follow-up High Road, Kemosabe released Keshaâs 2023 album, Gag Order, in conjunction with RCA. (Dr. Luke did not work on those records.) A month after Gag Orderâs release, Kesha and Dr. Luke settled a years-long defamation case in relation to her allegation that the producer sexually assaulted her in 2014. âJoyrideâ is her first release since the end of the Kemosabe contract.
Kesha is set to headline Philadelphiaâs Wawa Welcome America Festival tonight. A Lollapalooza show (and afterparty concert) follows this summer, along with an appearance at Mexico Cityâs Festival Hera HSBC.
