Kesha and zedd album

True Colors is Kesha’s latest single since she was featured in Pitbull’s Timber in 2013.

Kesha has had a rough experience for the last few years. She allegedly had little creative control on her second album Warrior (2012) and she had a much publicized legal battle against her producer Dr. Luke over her claims of abuse and his claim of defamation.

Kesha and zedd true colors

On February 2016, Kesha’s request to be released from her contract with Kemosabe Records, a label owned by Dr. Luke under Sony Music Entertainment was denied by the Supreme Court. That means that Kesha has to make three more albums with Dr. Luke under his label.

However, a lot of celebrities and musicians have voiced out their support for the singer. One of them was EDM artist Zedd of Clarity and Stay the Night fame. The DJ posted on Twitter that he would offer to produce and work for the singer.

On 16 April, Kesha made a surprsie performance during the Coachella Music Festival where she sang an emotional rendition of Zedd’s song True Colors.

Then a few days later, Zedd posted a picture of him and a female artist in the studio. Fans pointed that the female artist in the picture whose back turned to face the camera has hair and hat like Kesha’s.

Then a few days after that, Zedd announced that the collaborative effort they made will be released on Friday (Saturday in the Philippines). But the DJ posted on Twitter a few hours ago that the song has just been released, one day earlier.

Zedd made a point to clarify on Twitter that the song’s release was permitted by RCA and Kemosabe. Dr. Luke responded to the post and thanked the DJ for the clarification.

Kesha posted a picture of her on Instagram. She shared a grainy shot of herself singing into a studio mic. She captioned the image with “It’s a miracle when someone gives you a chance at finding your voice again with no reason other than that he is a fucking beautiful person with a heart of gold”.
