KESHA’S ‘JOY RIDE’

Multi-Platinum global pop superstar Kesha officially declares her independence with the recent landmark release of her eagerly anticipated new single, ‘JOYRIDE’, available everywhere now on her own label,

Kesha Records. ‘JOYRIDE’ was produced by Zhone (Troye Sivan’s GRAMMY Award-nominated ‘Rush’) and co-written by Kesha, Zhone, and Madison Love (Lady Gaga, Ava Max).

An assertive and empowering pop anthem celebrating Kesha’s unapologetic right to freedom and long overdue empowerment as an independent artist, “JOYRIDE” marks the first chapter of a milestone new era for Kesha, serving as both a return to classic form as well as a powerful sonic evolution following 2023’s critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Gag Order.

Global streams of ‘JOYRIDE’ increase day on day now surpassing over 20 x Million in just a few weeks. On this week’s official U.K. singles chart, “JOYRIDE” debuts in the Top 100 (#88). It marks Kesha’s first entry on the chart in more than half a decade.

Kesha first debut ‘JOYRIDE’ with a surprise live performance to over 5,000 ecstatic fans at Brooklyn, NY’s sold-out Planet Pride 2024.

Over her career, Kesha has earned ten Top 10 singles in the US, eleven in Australia, billions of streams, two US Billboard #1 albums, and nearly 40 million followers across social media. The 2x GRAMMY Award-nominated superstar attracts a diverse, passionate and socially engaged global audience who believe in the messages behind her music while critics also have unanimously sung her praises.

Kesha’s ventures outside of music include a top-rated TV program, an award-winning film, a book, a cruise and a cosmetics line, all of which spotlight an artist whose passion, talent and charm has earned her legions of fans.

Additionally, Kesha has been a staunch advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community and animal welfare through various organizations since the start of her career.

2023’s Gag Order, which marked Kesha’s first new album in over three years, was met by worldwide critical applause and later named “Album of the Year” by The Arts Desk while also placing in the upper echelons of year-end charts from Rolling Stone, PopMatters, The Independent, Slant, and The Sunday Times.
