Kesha has released another single from her upcoming album.
Following Eat The Acid and Fine Line, Only Love Can Save Us Now arrives just days ahead of 'Gag Order', which is out this Friday (May 19) via Kemosabe/RCA Records.
With lyrics that allude to her legal battle over the past decade, the track incorporates a gospel choir while transitioning between bassy electronic production and passages of acoustic guitar.
Produced by Rick Rubin and executive produced by Kesha, the follow-up to 2020's 'High Road' is described as an album that excavates, "the deepest recesses of her soul." Commenting on the new song in an Instagram post, Kesha said:
"I have had an overwhelming dichotomy of emotions, oscillating between pain and love. Chaos and love. Fear and love. I wanted my song Only Love Can Save Us Now to sonically, lyrically, and emotionally reflect the severity of my mental pendulum swings.
"The world is so overwhelming sometimes. It requires a moment of surrender. The ludicrosity of life can make you crazy. If anything, IF ANYTHING, can save us, I believe only love can. This song is a desperate and angry prayer. A call to the light when all feels lost."
