Kesha just dropped her latest single, and it’s an absolute doozy! Dubbed ‘Joyride,’ this tune hit the airwaves on July 4—yes, that’s right, the very day Americans are busy celebrating their independence with fireworks, barbecues, and attempts not to burn their eyebrows off. And what better way to mark the occasion than with Kesha celebrating her own independence after parting ways with RCA Records and Kemosabe Records? It’s like the universe was saying, “You go, girl!”
Now, if you were expecting another deep dive into the experimental waters of her last album ‘Gag Order,’ well, you might want to sit down. ‘Joyride’ is a whole different animal. It’s an electro-banger that’s perfect for summer—think of it as the sonic equivalent of cannonballing into a pool at a rooftop party. Remember the good ol’ days of ‘Tik Tok’ when you were brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack? ‘Joyride’ is here to take you back, but with even more pizzazz and fewer hangovers.
And the lyrics? Oh, they’re quotable alright. Prepare yourself for gems like “You want kids? Well I am mother,” which is basically Kesha’s way of saying she’s got this whole life thing under control. And then there’s “Are you a man? ‘Cause I’m a b**ch,” a line so fierce it might just singe your eyebrows (again, let’s hope not).
So, what are you waiting for? Strap in, hit play, and let Kesha take you on the wildest ‘Joyride’ of the summer. Check it out below, and don’t forget to hold your drink tight—you might spill it from all the dancing!
