today i got my phisical copy of the album (i'm in Italy). I love it !

Her Georgia show is sold out, her first Nashville and Connecticut and Minnesota shows are almost sold out, her first New York show and Toronto show have no standard tickets left.

 

Not bad for an 8k-debuting album with no official single.

What I’ve been saying! It’s obvious she needed damage control after High Road, and even though Gag Order isn’t topping charts it’s securing her a strong base of support and re-engaging the people she attracted with Rainbow. 
 

High Road debuted at #7 and the tour was barely selling scraps.

To be fair, the High Road Tour venues were wayyyyy too big (I don't know what they were thinking), but these have the same size as the Rainbow Tour venues (2-4k capacity) and are not selling worse at all despite Rainbow being a much more successful era, so definitely a good sign - and we're still 4 months before tour begin.

 

Shows she can still tour even when the entire GP is not supporting her new music.

This album hits different when you’re having a mental breakdown. The lyrics cut you deep

I still can't really believe an album this good by someone who was once a MPG could bomb so horribly :chick1: 

 

I really thought it would just take a minute for the word to spread but I guess the kids just don't care anymore. Its a shame because its easily her best body of work and I honestly think it has mass appeal.

As some words of encouragement, only the very top 0.1% (and the actual percentage is probably even less) of music is the music that charts and hits these headline worthy numbers and record breaking moments, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with her existing outside of that 0.1%. A career still exists beyond that space and she is still doing incredibly. The truth is the real money is in touring these days anyway, and thankfully her tour seems to be doing well. Much better for her to be out of the charts and able to tour consistently, than at the top of the charts and with nobody who cares to see her live. That’s where career longevity lies and that’s a totally fine future for her. Nothing wrong with wishful thinking, but chart expectations and worries serve nobody.

Agree 100%. She just deserves the world, so it’s disappointing but I think touring is her favourite part anyway so I’m sure she’s fine.

Music needs to be marketed on social media these days, and Kesha isn’t marketing it well there. Lawd if I was on her marketing team she’d be viral constantly.

Didnt like the music video, I think the idea is cool but badly executed. 

 

The Vevo performance still gives me life tho :alexz:

Omg :frown:

 

Quote

“I almost died in January,” Kesha begins. She’s speaking deliberately, alternately staring into me and casting her eyes down. Last year, she froze her eggs. Some weeks after, on New Year’s Eve, she performed in the Bahamas, and after the show, she found she was too weak to walk. She went to the hospital, where doctors discovered that she had developed an uncommon yet serious complication from the fertility procedure, which they attributed, in part, to her weakened immune system. (Kesha chose to share some of the specifics off the record.) She was transferred to a hospital in Miami, where she spent nine days. “I finally feel recovered, but it took a couple months,” she says. “It was horrifying.” It was a wrenching outcome for a hugely personal decision—one she’d made because her album was coming out, and she wanted more time to think through what it meant to have a child in the world today without feeling rushed or distracted.

She clearly struggles with the question of whether to be forthcoming about a health issue—one that almost took her life—because she’s afraid of what people might say about what it means. She doesn’t want to be seen as prescriptive about pregnancy. As Kesha insists and emphasizes: She firmly believes people should decide whether, and when, to give birth on their own terms. “I just was taking my reproductive health into my own hands,” she says. “And I stand by everyone doing that and [honoring] your body.”

Quote

But what about the doctors mentioned in these lyrics? According to Kesha, this silencing was, in fact, her own response to a new diagnosis. In 2022, Kesha learned she has common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), a primary immunodeficiency disease that puts her at an especially high risk of developing recurrent, and potentially serious, infections. She’s kept this news private until now out of fear it would attract negative attention. “I just never wanted to be the whiny, privileged girl,” she says. “Also, my image had been that of going out and having fun.”

CVID is a lifelong condition that affects one in 25,000 to 50,000 people globally. Its causes aren’t well understood in a majority of cases, but it’s believed to stem from both genetic and environmental elements—so, mutations that affect cells in the immune system or external factors a person encounters in their life (though it’s not yet scientifically clear what, specifically, those are). In an estimated 25% of cases, like Kesha’s, CVID is associated with autoimmune issues, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy parts of the body while trying to protect it. This can trigger a host of other challenges, including symptoms like sluggishness and digestive problems as well as larger complications, like constant respiratory infections that can lead to other chronic conditions, like lung disease.

Wow…she really can’t catch a break :weeps:.

 

The part about CVID affecting her public activities really sheds a whole new light on her lack of interviews and public appearances, having complained about that feels bad in hindsight :rip:.

 

Spoiler

Not her declining to name her boyfriend when everyone already knows his name :skull:.

CD is now sold out too, so maybe if she sees there's demand she'll sign more and restock

Listened to the Zane Lowe interview, and I love how Zane pointed out that Fine Line is kinda like a modern grunge/Alice in Chains twist. It totally puts the pieces together as to why I love the track, it’s so raw, simple and true. Her best song yet in my opinion.
