also what with kesha just being the superior person/popstar in just about every conceivable way

Record is really good too, agree with Brad that the country-tinged songs are the best.

damn. i have no idea what the country market is like, but i feel like she could have a hit with that. great selection on her part, gives me some of the same goosebumps as "praying" did on first listen.

she's so good. i'm excited to see her next week

one of my exes goes to the same place I go on occasion and she has it in her head that she has a great voice so she sings slow, showstopping ballads by Celine Dion and other diva songs and so is so wildly off key as to render the songs incomprehensible.
I almost want to dare her to do this one to see what she does to it when the whistle note comes.

this is exactly why Praying has to become a karaoke classic.

Great performance, but the Grammys spinning Kesha's comeback (a triumph over the industry that tried to block her from making an album) as a victory FOR the industry was really gross
― Evan R, Monday, 29 January 2018 16:30 (six years ago) link
yeah, I got into this recap, but it's somewhat mindboggling how many people hosting/showcased/otherwise on the Grammys were JUST in the news for sexual harassment/predatory/general pustularity. and this is just the known ones.

(the ads against the Grammys were also weirdly retrograde: women fainting over Old Spice, women indulging in the sinful low-calorie offerings of Fiber One, the existence of Fifty Shades)

finally got around to listening to Rainbow. there's some really awesome stuff on there, huge surprise for me. didn't really like her older work for the most part. "Woman" and "Let 'Em Talk" are the showstoppers but there's several other good tracks here too

obviously better than a tidy ballad but I'm not 100% sold, to be honest, on pivoting to amanda palmer (musically)

Trying to imagine a scenario where someone would request that this be played, and I just cannot. She coulda kept this in her diary.
― Cousin Slappy, Monday, 10 June 2019 02:15 (four years ago) link
I can easily imagine people requesting this be played
(it's better if I think of it as a one-off/leak, like the dozens floating around during the animal/warrior years)

i realized that i am very much kesha
on Harmony Korine's The Beach Bum: "I saw the movie and that was inspiring to me because, as a bum, I very much relate to that character."

"raising hell" kicks so much ass

wait what is the beach bum quote from?
― petey v, Tuesday, 29 October 2019 16:07 (four years ago) link
I'm kind of obsessed with the way she pronounces the word "couldn't" in the line "if you couldn't tell."
The trailer for her new album is great.

Bless you, Kesha.
― tangenttangent, Friday, 31 January 2020 12:07 (four years ago) link
A great mix of classic club Kesha and conservational country Kesha. All the preview singles sound fantastic in context too. Probably a fraction overlong, but who cares, it's amazing.

“birthday suit”!!!!
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 31 January 2020 14:43 (four years ago) link
the country-leaning songs here are so amazing that i long for a full country kesha record, but then it wouldn't provide me with the interdimensional bridge between all iterations of kesha that is "kinky"
only track i'd delete from this is "bff"
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 31 January 2020 15:07 (four years ago) link
‘Kinky’ and ‘BFF’ were both ones I’d lose tbh, but the rest are wonderful. The ‘Island in the Sun’-reminiscent intro has me fantasising a Kesha-Weezer super gig. ‘Tonight’, the title track and ‘Birthday Suit’ are immediate faves and I feel guilty for dismissing ‘Raising Hell’ earlier in the year what was I thinking.

I like this new album so much more than Rainbow tbh
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Saturday, 1 February 2020 19:49 (four years ago) link
my feelings on this album will hinge on whether there's a 'rainbow' or a 'spaceship' equivalent probably
― opden gnash (imago), Saturday, 1 February 2020 19:58 (four years ago) link
i don't think either is present, but the album's offering other pleasures
maybe i love "kinky" bc it'd be a pretty sick k-pop song
― american bradass (BradNelson), Sunday, 2 February 2020 15:25 (four years ago) link
this album handles its pop moves better than rainbow (cf. the run from "tonight" to "honey" vs. "hymn" -> "praying" -> "learn to let go," the former is better to me on just a pacing level) but rainbow is still the weedier and weirder of the two? but then again high road has "the potato song," which seems to follow up on "rich straight white men" and take kesha further into the alt universe amanda palmer territory (which is fine with me, she's a good enough songwriter to pull it off) and then there's "father daughter dance" the most devastating thing she's ever put on a record? idk, both records are all over the place
― american bradass (BradNelson), Sunday, 2 February 2020 15:33 (four years ago) link
i would prob think "bff" was ok if wrabel were deleted from it
