The album is her first since 2020’s High Road.

Superstar producer Rick Rubin who has worked with Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Run-DMC has helped on the record which is said to be a go into the “dark depths of the human psyche”.

Despite landing seven UK Top 10s and having hits around the world, Kesha for years has publicly struggled as she battled inner demons.

Since 2014 she has been locked in a legal battle with producer to the stars Dr Luken over allegations of sexual misconduct.

Kesha on letting go of the past and finding happiness with new album

Talking about the album, Kesha said: “Without the darkness there is no light. I finally let my darkness have the light.

“I cannot fight the truth of this life being difficult and painful. It is for everyone.

“An artist doesn’t exist to make others happy. I believe an artist gives voice, motion, colour to the emotions we all have. The good emotions, and the unmanageably f**king miserable ones.”

On Friday Kesha will offer her first glimpse of the record with new songs Eat The Acid and Fine Line.

On Fine Line, she sings: “All the doctors and lawyers cut the song out of my mouth/ I’ve been hiding my anger but b*tch look at me now”
Meanwhile, on Eat The Acid she croons: “I got used to being lost/ I never felt like I belonged.

She adds on the haunting track: “Last night I saw it all/ Last night I talked to God.”

Sometimes the best music comes from the darkest moments so I can’t wait to hear what Kesha has created.
