Bless you, Kesha.

A great mix of classic club Kesha and conservational country Kesha. All the preview singles sound fantastic in context too. Probably a fraction overlong, but who cares, it's amazing.

the country-leaning songs here are so amazing that i long for a full country kesha record, but then it wouldn't provide me with the interdimensional bridge between all iterations of kesha that is "kinky"
only track i'd delete from this is "bff"

‘Kinky’ and ‘BFF’ were both ones I’d lose tbh, but the rest are wonderful. The ‘Island in the Sun’-reminiscent intro has me fantasising a Kesha-Weezer super gig. ‘Tonight’, the title track and ‘Birthday Suit’ are immediate faves and I feel guilty for dismissing ‘Raising Hell’ earlier in the year what was I thinking.

I like this new album so much more than Rainbow tbh

my feelings on this album will hinge on whether there's a 'rainbow' or a 'spaceship' equivalent probably

i don't think either is present, but the album's offering other pleasures
maybe i love "kinky" bc it'd be a pretty sick k-pop song

this album handles its pop moves better than rainbow (cf. the run from "tonight" to "honey" vs. "hymn" -> "praying" -> "learn to let go," the former is better to me on just a pacing level) but rainbow is still the weedier and weirder of the two? but then again high road has "the potato song," which seems to follow up on "rich straight white men" and take kesha further into the alt universe amanda palmer territory (which is fine with me, she's a good enough songwriter to pull it off) and then there's "father daughter dance" the most devastating thing she's ever put on a record? idk, both records are all over the place

i would prob think "bff" was ok if wrabel were deleted from it

Relistening to this now and it's even better.
