single Kesha - "Joyride"

[Outlaws]

A major, unique bop.

 

When she says "joyride" with that deep voice, it reminds me of Gaga in Rain On Me when she says "hands up TO THE SKY".

[ICLDXU4HS]

Rev my engine 'til you make it purr
Keep it kinky, but I come first

 

[TMRA]

I love it! Why does the instrumental during and right after the chorus remind me of Gentleman by PSY 

[Generation Braindead]

The production is really superior. This is iconic of her to come back with a single like this.

It's not show-stopping or world-ending, but it's pretty ******* good.

 

What's interesting to me is that she's evoking the sound and feeling of past triumphs despite being an independent artist, and she's doing it without resorting to desperately running back to old producers. It goes to show that Kesha was the brains behind her own success all along, and is an artist and not a product. A true artist can continue their brand on their own; a product must rely on others to try and recapture old successes. 

i couldn't have said it better myself

Do I like it? Yes

 

is it a little garbage? Also yes

Kesha always knew her musical identity. Some people might think she didn't like the sound of her earlier work because of Luke, but she genuinely does seem to be proud of her debut album. Warrior was a mess of an era because she wanted to keep trying new things instead of chasing hits, and she always enjoyed mixing pop with rock, folk and country. Sometimes the end result might end up being for an acquired taste, but it's filled with Kesha's personality, and that's a triumph for any artist.

The song's an experimental mess objectively, but I like it too. She tried something different and it sounds fun.

The intro:

 

[Jukebox]

This is such a hot mess and I LOVE it 

[BussC,XOXO]

I'm so glad she's back

[Buzzcutseason]

I couldn't make it past the one minute mark 

[Arknex]

sounds fun, i dig it 

[Young In Love]

such a bop, the production is hypnotic and accordion works unexpectedly well, only Kesha could make it work 

[Shinning]

This is bad. I find the production SO grating and the lyrics are terrible.

I miss the old Kesha 

[Pendulum]

With all due respect, this is garbage 

[bumpah]

its so trashy and messy and hurts my ears but it works i love it

[Kimi]

now that's a song. If the album is on this level it could be her best 

[crossbonezolo]

KESHA IS FINALLY KESHING AGAIN!!!! 

[Grizzo]

it's good! i was a little thrown off by the accordion at the beginning but i got used to it 

 

it reminds me of those two bops:

 

 

 

[Braz]

An absolute banger.

why does it abruptly cut off at the end  

Some people suggested it might be the transition to another song on the album.

[dzwiekolubny]

IT'S AMAZING 

[Konril]

This is such a messy, trashy BOP. 

[FOCK]

It's so perfectly Kesha. 
Zany, theatrical, fun, bop. 
I love it.
