Kesha
Over the past year, Kesha has been in the midst of a career rebirth following the creation of her Kesha Records label and celebration of her independence as an artist. Last summer, she signaled that her first album in this new independent era was on the way with the single “Joyride” and later that fall with “Delusional.” She’s continued laying the groundwork for her forthcoming LP, Period, this spring with “Yippee-Ki-Yay” and the newly released single “Boy Crazy.”
On the upbeat pop track, Kesha sings about wanting to collect romantic partners from around the world and have fun while she does it. “Berlin to Bombay, New York to LA / Tokyo to Tahoe, boys are my cocaine / Bikers and the dumb bros, daddies, and the gym h*es / Prowling like a kitty cat, I want to get you all alone,” she sings on the track. “I’m obsessive, I’m fixating / I want all the boys lately / Fly me out and entertain me / Oh, oh, I’m boy crazy.”
The singles released so far have run the gamut sonically and represent an amalgamation of her past work from her 2010 debut album Animal to the more emotional Rainbow and High Road. Channeling her emotions – whatever they may be – into her music is a key part of the pop star’s creative process.
“If you feel rage, people can go bash a window of a car, but for me, if I feel rage, I take it to the studio and I currently surround myself with incredibly safe people that help me take my emotion and we alchemize it into song. So, it’s become the way I process life and the beautiful part of writing music or making any art of any kind is that you get to process something in, hopefully, a safe way,” the pop star told Forbes.com last year. “Once it has come out of your body and onto the page or into the microphone, if you choose to share it, that healing that you experience, then can possibly help to heal other people.”
Period is set for release July 4.
