Kesha Raises Spirits, Preaches Equality at Triumphant Nashville Show
“I got a question for you: are there any motherfuckers out there in the audience? Is there anybody here who runs their own shit?” asked Kesha during her set-opening performance of “Woman” at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium Wednesday night.
And with that fierce declaration of agency, the Nashville native set about making her hometown exhibit one of the most positively uplifting, inclusive concert experiences available in 2017 – raging against the world’s unceasing tide of assholes and tenderly welcoming anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t belong.
It certainly wasn’t lip service from Kesha, who’s emerged on the other side of a very universal legal battle with producer Dr. Luke to emit one of 2017’s foremost albums in Rainbow. That message of standing proudly on your own was threaded through virtually every performance at the Ryman Auditorium, the second halt on the Rainbow Tour.
In keeping with the rock and country sounds that flavored Rainbow, Kesha brought along a full band that capably bashed their way through the defiant strains of ̶
July LGBTQ music: Kesha’s ‘(Period)’ and DJ Haram’s ‘Beside Myself’
This month, Gay Capital News’ attention turns to the latest albums from pop singer Kesha and trans producer DJ Haram.
Kesha | “(Period)” | Kesha Records | July 4th
Kesha, who wrote on Instagram in 2022 that she’s “not gay” but also “not straight,” is finally her own forwarder. After suing her former producer Dr. Luke for sexual assault in a civil case, she remained signed to his Kemosabe label. Even as her songs “Praying” and “Bastard” dissed him, he still made money off them. After her contract with Kemosabe ran out, she’s now started her hold label. She celebrates her newfound independence, singing “freedom, I’ve been waiting for you.” For better or worse, “(Period)” is an album for the fans who’ve stuck with her all this time.
The hedonistic attitude of Kesha’s first two albums has been retrospectively dubbed “recession pop.” If her party miss image always came with a wink, the pain she was going through now seeps underneath. Her third album, “Rainbow,” remains her best, finally putting her in control of her own sound. It felt like our first glimpse at a concrete woman, ra
Three months after coming out to myself, I got on a plane to visit my parents. I pulled my remaining male child clothes from the support of my closet and removed my red nail polish — the faint stain reminding me of a new life I was starting to construct. In that life, I was out to everyone but I wouldn’t be out on this trip. Not yet.
While I’d decided not to tell my parents for a scant more months, I did use this time to come out to my old friends. Dressed in parent-approved drag, I left them confused. “I’m a girl” is a harder sell when you glance like the same male child they’d always known.
I left one of those friend’s houses to make the long trek back from the city of LA to the suburb of who cares. It was after midnight. My smartphone told me that Kesha’s new album, Rainbow, had just been released and I clicked play.
“One, two, three, four,” Kesha said softly, opening her album like she was talking just to me.
I got too many people
I got left to prove wrong
All those motherfuckers
Been too signify for too long
And I’m so sick of crying, yeah
Darlin’, what’s it for?
I could fight forever, oh
But life’s too short
Don’t permit the bastards get you down
Her next song urged me t
Review – Kesha and Macklemore Were The Rainbows After The Rain During Pride
Denver couldn’t have asked for a beat way to terminate the 2018 Denver PrideFest than with a visit from LGBTQ advocates and allies Kesha and Macklemore. Both acts turned the Pepsi Center into a house of adoration, partying, acceptance and equality as they came through on the rainy Sunday night of June 18.
Kesha walked on stage and didn’t give a fuck. Although that may read weird on paper, it’s the truth. Kesha walked out to a screaming Denver crowd with confidence felt throughout the whole arena. Right out of the gates, Kesha took the time to welcome and lovingly notify out all of her LGBTQ fans and friends before giving a large shout out to Pride. Her lobbying resonated in Denver as her words hit the ears of everyone there.
Kesha treated her show as if she was a kid on a playground having the day of her life. If you’re not a die-hard Kesha fan, you probably know her older music to be heavy pop-oriented twist songs. She didn’t give us the over-produced studio quality songs, no — she added a live band and reclaimed her sound. What once was a pop version of “We R
Kesha’s Rainbow Tour is a Nod to Gay Strength
Kesha, at last, is here to take you away in her spaceship(s.)
At least, that’s what the first promo poster for her upcoming Rainbow Tour seems to infer. And if anyone has the power to transport her audience into the intergalactic regions, it’s the artist formerly recognizable as Ke$ha. Marking her first tour as a solo artist since 2013’s Warrior Tour, a sweeping eighty-date performance that spanned from the U.S. to Asia with Pitbull as her opener, the Rainbow Tour appears as though it will be slightly less about the, shall we say, “Dr. Luke agenda” of mass sales and more about Kesha’s favorite aspect of the business: connecting with fans. Especially queer fans, toward whom the rainbow theme of both the album and the tour seem targeted. Kesha reached lgbtq+ icon status distant ago, but her iconography just keeps getting more absorbing , especially this year.
Kicking off in Birmingham on September 26, the 21-city tour (U.S. only at the moment) is likely to find Kesha continuing to shed her past aura with the performance of new singles including “Praying,” “Woman,” and the queer anthem“Hymn.” Although her strife with depression (as rawly discussed in
