Over Kesha
Biografie van artiest
In the late 2000s, social media gave misfits and outsiders the means to carve out their own personal space online, and attract legions of followers by presenting the most raw and unfiltered version of themselves. And no artist personified that moment quite like Kesha Rose Sebert (born 1987), the brash, potty-mouthed, nose-ringed anti-diva who crashed the Top 40 through her wailing cameo on Flo Ridaās 2009 synth-rap chart-topper, āRight Round,ā and then stuck around like she owned the place. At a time when EDM-infused maximalism was reshaping the sound of pop music, Kesha united club kids, hip-hop heads, and indie hipsters under one festival tent through bratty bops like āTiK ToKā and āWe R Who We R.ā And she was also the rare omnivorous pop star who was just as eager to record Stooges tributes with psych-pop kings The Flaming Lips (ā2012 [You Must Be Upgraded]ā) as hook up with dance-rap pooh-bah Pitbull for his 2013 strobe-lit smash āTimber.ā Behind the scenes, however, Keshaās life was no partyāa struggle with eating disorders and a nasty legal battle with her former producer, Dr. Luke, brought her career to a halt. By the time Kesha resurfaced with 2017ās Rainbow, she was being celebrated as an icon of the burgeoning #MeToo movement, and the albumās spirit of empowerment and emancipation filtered down to its non-conformist sound, which foregrounded the country, soul, and classic-rock influences she inherited from her musician mother, Pebe (who also guested on the record). And 2020ās High Road found her reclaiming the more sexualized persona of her earlier work, while doubling down on her reputation as popās most unpredictable polymathāwho else could trade verses with NOLA bounce deity Big Freedia, collaborate with Grimes, and harmonize with Brian Wilson and Sturgill Simpson on the same record? āIām not going to let something that happened to me in my past define who Iām going to be the rest of my life,ā Kesha told Apple Music. āThis record is me being like, āNoāyouāre not going to stick me in some box.āā
