Pop superstar Kesha has released Gag Order, her fifth album and the crowning jewel of the GRAMMY-nominee’s eclectic and inspired discography to date. LISTEN HERE . Called “her most daring music yet” by Rolling Stone, ‘Gag Order’ (produced by Rick Rubin, with Kesha as executive producer), has been self-described as “post-pop” full-bodied collection which flows like a stream-of-consciousness journey through the psychedelic dark depths of the human psyche, followed by basking in the cleansing light when finally reaching the surface. Pre-release tracks “Eat the Acid” and “Fine Line” have hinted at the pop star’s artistic reinvention, with The Fader calling the former a “cautionary psychedelic anthem” while Bustle complimented the latter’s lyrics as “a jaw-dropper”. Elsewhere on the album, Kesha ruminates on her struggles with panic attacks on “Living In My Head”, finds peace in the fallout of facing one’s fear on “Happy”, and on “All I Need Is You” shares an ode to unconditional true love ...

Following the recent announcement of her forthcoming album Gag Order, out May 19th via Kemosabe/RCA Records, Kesha has dropped the LP’s first two pre-release tracks: the one-two punch of “Eat The Acid” and “Fine Line”, which serve as a bold unveiling of the sonic and emotional direction of her new Rick Rubin-produced album.  “Fine Line” is a naked admission of the absurdities of the fickle world we live in, playing out like an otherworldly look at the fragile dualities of life – things that can change in the blink of an eye. It ties into the forthcoming album’s overarching theme of embracing the lightness of life only by also embracing the darkness.  On “Eat The Acid”, over a humming organ-like synthesizer, Kesha recounts an existential breakthrough she had one night. In a recent album manifesto (via Nylon), Kesha shared the origin story for “Eat The Acid”: “This night sent me like a rabid animal into a journey of self-discovery within my consciousness… My ego, or sense of alo...
