She's back, y'all!
Kesha dropped her first single in four years today, and her new tune "Pray" is everything we'd hoped it would be. The songstress gives an emotional monologue at the beginning of the video, and it's clear she's worked her way through the trauma of the past couple years. From her eating disorder to her sexual assault case against producer Dr. Luke, things haven't exactly been easy.
"I have channeled my feelings of severe hopelessness and depression, I've overcome obstacles, and I have found strength in myself even when it felt out of reach. I’ve found what I had thought was an unobtainable place of peace. 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," she wrote in a Lenny Letter.
"In the past couple of years, I have grown into a strong, independent woman. I have realized through this long journey of ups and downs that if I'm lucky enough to have a voice that people listen to, then I should use it for good and for truth. I've battled intense anxiety and depression, a relentless eating disorder, and all the other basic bullshit that comes with being human. I know I'm not alone in that battle. Finding the strength to come forward about these things is not easy, but I want to help others who are going through tough times," she added.
We're happy she's found the light!
