It’s been a while since Kesha surprised us with some new solo music, but there’s something amazing on the way! The Grammy-nominated singer announced the release of her fifth studio album Gag Order and teased two new singles “Eat the Acid” and “Fine Line”.

Gag Order was written over the course of the past few years, and it was inspired by both the anxiety and spiritual awakening that Kesha faced in the wake of the pandemic. Writing new music allowed her to explore a wide range of different emotions, from pain and anger to grief and regret.

Kesha teased her upcoming album in a manifesto published by Nylon and expressed hope that her new music will connect with those who need it the most.

“I have given voice to the pain. I finally acknowledged it and let it dissolve into being a piece of me instead of my enemy. Every day is its own journey. I’m not fixed and I may never be. Or maybe there is nothing to fix. But I want people to know they aren’t alone in their head,” she explained.

Gag Order will hit the shelves on May 19, and Kesha will give us a taste of things to come with new singles “Eat the Acid” and “Fine Line”, set to be released on April 28.
