Kesha, the pop star known for her infectious hits and vibrant personality, has finally reached a milestone in her career: complete artistic freedom. Following a lengthy legal battle with her former producer, Dr. Luke, she has launched her own label, Kesha Records, and released her first single as an independent artist, "Joy Ride."

In a recent interview with Vulture, Kesha reflected on her musical journey, discussing six of her lead singles, from the early days of "Tik Tok" to the empowering anthem "Praying" and the cathartic "Eat the Acid." She opens up about the challenges she faced, including lack of creative control and the emotional toll of her legal battles.

Now, with "Joy Ride," Kesha is celebrating her newfound freedom and embracing her true self. The song, released on Independence Day, is a testament to her resilience and unwavering spirit. She describes it as "a song for driving 120 miles per hour down the 405 laughing maniacally with a knife in one hand and a Birkin in the other."

Kesha's fans, known as "Animals," have been with her every step of the way, and they're thrilled to see her finally in control of her own destiny. "Joy Ride" is a triumphant return for the singer, and it's clear that she's just getting started.
