Kesha explained how her new expletive-filled song 'Woman' is all about female empowerment
Kesha released her newest song "Woman" on Thursday, the expletive-filled second single off of her new album "Rainbow," slated to release August 11.
Kesha had not released any new music for the past four years prior to the release of her single "Praying" on July 6, due to an ongoing court battle with Sony and her former producer, Dr. Luke. Kesha had been trying to get out of her contract with Sony and Dr. Luke, whom she alleges drugged her, in addition to sexually and verbally assaulting her, during her time recording with him at Sony. Sony removed Dr. Luke from the company back in April, and since then Kesha has picked right back up where she left off.
In a personal essay penned by Kesha for Rolling Stone, which also published Thursday morning to coincide with the release of her latest single "Woman," Kesha explains what drove her to write her new female (em)power anthem, "Woman."
Kesha writes:
"Woman" the second song to be released from "Rainbow" is a funk-filled pop song with a Western tinge. Kesha's pride in being a self-sufficient woman shines through, and it's a perfect song to amp anyone up, no matter what gender they identify with.
