MTV writes Kesha "triumphed" in 2017 (along with Ariana and Selena), calls Rainbow "comeback album for the ages"

Kesha Breaks Free

Five years after her last album, Warrior, and three years since she became embroiled in a legal battle with her longtime producer Dr. Luke, Kesha returned in 2017 with a comeback album for the ages. Rainbowis an impassioned response to the singer’s battle with a legal system that has left her besieged, but it’s also a powerful pop opus that was well worth the wait.

Kesha’s road to releasing Rainbow was a grueling one. In 2014, she filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, claiming that he sexually, verbally, physically, and emotionally abused her. Since then, legal defeats have prevented her from releasing music outside of her deals with him, but she was finally able to make Rainbow without his direct involvement. Fans responded with open arms, and Rainbow debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 and earned Kesha the first two Grammy nominations of her career.

With Rainbow, the #FreeKesha movement transformed from a rallying cry into a survivor’s declaration of triumph; one that’s essential in the Trump era, and one that shouts, “I’m still here, motherfuckers.” From the emotionally raw power ballad “Praying” to the fist-pumping anthem “Woman,” these are songs that show us what perseverance can yield. Take that, bastards.
