Kesha really kept us waiting for her new music, but she’s finally ready for a comeback. Her fifth studio album Gag Order is coming out next month, and she teased its release by announcing two new singles: “Eat the Acid” and “Fine Line”.

Kesha hasn’t released any solo music since her last album High Road hit the shelves in 2020 and we finally know what she’s been up to in the meantime. Kesha reflected on her creative journey in the wake of the global pandemic in a recent Nylon article, describing the “emotional exorcism” she went through in the past three years.

“I wanted to make an album that sounds the way my head feels. Dipping in and out of depression, gratitude, rage, and hope. Always moving. Without the darkness, there is no light. So I let my darkness have the light. I can’t fight the truth. Life is difficult and painful,” she wrote in her Nylon open letter.

Gag Order will be released by RCA and Sony Music on May 19. She will tease its release with two new singles “Eat the Acid” and “Fine Line”, hitting the shelves on April 28. She shared several more song titles in an interview with The Rolling Stone, including “All I Need Is You”, “Living in My Head”, and “Only Love Can Save Us Now”.
