Kesha shook the music world when she filed a lawsuit against one of the most successful music producer, Dr. Luke two years ago. Now at 29 years old, Kesha seems eager to go back to what she really loves, music.
Dr. Luke first discovered Kesha when she was 18 years old in Nashville. For almost a decade, the two collaborated and were able to produce successful hits. However, in 2014, Kesha claimed that she was "sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused" during the course of their partnership. She also mentioned that there was an incident in 2005 wherein she was drugged then raped by Dr. Luke.
According to New York Times, many fellow musicians and celebrities expressed their support for the young singer, but the court rejected most of the claims she filed. Furthermore, Kesha was still under contract for three more albums with Dr. Luke's music label which is also a joint venture with Sony Music.
Most fans are excited about the new album's release, however, Kesha's lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli is not as hopeful.
"Kesha has been trying for six months to record and release new music," Petrocelli said in a statement. "Only in the last month, after our last court hearing has any progress been made, but it is hardly enough. Kesha still has received no commitments on promotion, songs, or even a release date.
"We hope things turn around fast. Meanwhile, Kesha intends to continue participating in the creative process in the hopes she can meaningfully return to work."
Kesha last album "Warrior" was released in December 2012 and while she remained relevant by releasing her latest single titled "True Colors" with Zedd in April 2016, a new album was still nowhere in sight.
Lucky for fans, it was recently confirmed by Sony Music that she will be releasing a new album. Sony told Buzzfeed News, "Creating a new album takes time, and everyone's goal is to deliver a high-quality album consistent with Kesha's past releases," according to a statement from Sony Music. "We hope to share exciting new music with Kesha's fans soon."
