KESHA - HIGH ROAD

Posted in: What's New | No Comments

High Road is the new album from the modern pop icon Kesha, and the follow up to her 2017 GRAMMY‐nominated album Rainbow. High Road finds Kesha on a joyful musical journey of self‐discovery. The album is filled with emotional and stylistic range, and is a blend of heavenly highs and emotional depths. Kesha’s swagger is front and center, with frisky, rap‐based tracks that show‐off her skills as a lyrical spitfire, and also a folkier side that emerges. With a dream‐pop ode to a best friendship, a reflective ballad about growing up without a father, and plenty of lust and laughter, High Road traverses the emotional spectrum.
