  • Kesha unleashes her wildest era yet with ‘.(Period)’, a frisky, unfiltered Pop frenzy

    NSFW visuals, #1 hits, and an eighteen-thousand strong tour kickoff make it clear: She’s never been more in control.

    With her latest studio release ‘.(Period)’ (stylised as ‘Period’), globally-recognised musician Kesha isn’t just back—she’s reborn. Described by Rolling Stone as “a frisky pop record that delights in throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks”, the genre-defying album earned a rare 4-out-of-5-star rave, and it’s not hard to hear why. From the moment ‘The One’ debuted at #1 on iTunes US across all genres, it became crystal clear: Kesha’s creative instincts are sharper, riskier, and louder than ever.

    The album doesn’t just flirt with chaos—it marries it. Tracks like ‘Boy Crazy’ stand as proof, where she unapologetically directs a NSFW visual alongside Brett Loudermilk and Zain Curtis. It’s sweaty, sacrilegious, and sexy—a fever dream that reimagines ‘The Last Supper’ as a house party gone gloriously off the rails. The men, barely clothed and fully uninhibited, whirl around the GRAMMY-nominated artist as if possessed by the beat. As People put it: “Kesha is getting raunchy.” But let’s be clear—this isn’t shock for shock’s sake. It’s Kesha reclaiming her narrative, her sensuality, and her throne.

    Elsewhere, ‘Attention’—a standalone track featuring St Louis-born Slayyyter and United Kingdom breakout Rose Gray—cements her knack for cross-generational Pop disruption. Both artists joined Kesha on her newly launched North American headline tour, which roared to life in Utah before eighteen-thousand screaming “Animals”. The energy? Electric. The statement? Clear. Kesha’s not only still here—she’s out for blood, glitter, and glory.

    If ‘.(Period)’ is the punctuation on her past, it also signals the start of a new, unhinged, liberated paragraph—written entirely on her terms. Stream the rousing eleven-track album below.

  • Listen to global music icon Kesha’s new single ‘The One’ from her forthcoming album

    Today, global music icon Kesha released her new single called ‘The One’ ahead of her forthcoming album entitled ‘.(Period)’ on July 4 through her record label. On the track produced by Zhone and Kesha, the Los Angeles-born artist reflects on the transformative realisation that self-love holds greater significance than seeking validation or affection from others. The song captures a personal journey of empowerment, emphasising the importance of inner strength and self-worth. It follows up her last single ‘Attention’ featuring Pop music disruptor Slayyyter and rising English singer-songwriter, Rose Gray—both joining the larger-than-life singer-songwriter on tour. Her upcoming tour, ‘The Tits Out’, starts next week—on July 1 in West Valley City, Utah. Kesha’s show dates in New York City’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum are sold out. Check out the tour dates below.
