Kesha left the fans excited as she released her new single, Joyride, which is her first release as an Indie artist after she parted ways with Dr Luke’s Kemosable Records and RCA. The two-and-a-half-minute track was released on YouTube and all major music streaming platforms on July 3, 2024.

As soon as the news about Kesha’s new single release spread on social media, the netizens grew ecstatic and started pouring in their thoughts on the same. As she posted the song on her official YouTube channel, several fans wrote about how they loved her new song as it marks “freedom” for the artist. One social media user wrote:
"THIS IS WHAT FREEDOM SOUNDS LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
On the other hand, others also appreciated the beats, the song, and the singer's energy in the song, especially as this song became her first independent release since her departure from the label Kemosabe and Vector Management.
Kesha made her way into the headlines after she announced that she would be parting ways with Dr Luke’s Kemosable label, and also be bidding adieu to Vector Management. The fiasco took place in December, last year, and it took half a year for Kesha to come up with her own song.
“Closing the door on this chapter of my life”- Kesha’s December 2023 statement revisited as she said goodbye to Dr Luke and his record label
The popular singer Kesha turned many heads after she announced in December 2023, that she would no longer be working with Dr Luke and his record label. As the duo had been associated since the last decade, she announced how the two settled out of court, as she released a statement on social media, stating:
“Only God knows what happened that night. As I have always said, I cannot recount everything that happened. I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter in my life and beginning a new one. I wish nothing but peace to all parties involved.”
The entire fiasco took place when Kesha accused the music producer Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald AKA Dr Luke of “emotional distress” and stated that he often s*xually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused her since the beginning of their professional relationship. She also filed a lawsuit, in which she exclaimed how the producer often drugged and r*ped her.
While Kesha filed the lawsuit in October 2014, the duo announced in June 2023, that they have “reached a settlement” out of court. At the time, Dr. Luke also issued a formal statement denying all the allegations, as he said:
“While I appreciate Kesha again acknowledging that she cannot recount what happened that night in 2005. I am absolutely certain that nothing happened. For the sake of my family, I have vigorously fought to clear my name for nearly 10 years. It is time for me to put this difficult matter behind me and move on with my life.”
On the other hand, Kesha is well known for her songs, like Tik Tok, My First Kiss, Blah Blah Blah, Your Love is My Drug, Die Young, Take It Off, We R Who We R, and Blow, among others.
