Kesha Makes Her Comeback With Charged New Single 'Praying'

It’s been a long four years for pop singer Kesha since she last released an album, but today finally sees the launch of her first new single, “Praying.”

Since 2014, Kesha has been embattled in a legal battle with former longtime producer Dr. Luke over rape allegations, preventing her return to the music scene. However, her follow-up to 2013’s Deconstructed EP is now set to drop on Aug. 11 via Kemosabe Records/RCA Records.

Titled Rainbow, the album features contributions from Ben Folds, Dolly Parton, Eagles of Death Metal, and Ryan Lewis.

The latter and recurrent Macklemore collaborator lends production on lead single “Praying,” a track that certainly seems aimed at Dr. Luke.

The track’s video, which was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, features sinister charcters wearing suits and pigs heads, and shots of Kesha in a winged, silver bodysuit playing piano and smashing painted-over TV screens.
