Red Flag is on the NY Times best of the week list. 

 

Quote

Kesha, 'Red Flag.'

Now that Kesha's lawsuits and record-company contracts are in the past, her first independently released album, ". (Period)," doubles down on her persona as an unruly, thrill-seeking party girl who wants what she wants. In the peppy "Red Flag," she welcomes chaos and complication over boredom. "I need a certain kind of chemical / It's dangerous and unforgettable," she sings, with an edge of Auto-Tune. The track revs up a combination of synth-pop pulsation and hand-clapping trance buildups, an adrenaline rush of romantic disaster.

Ok listened once more….i dont  think I'm gonna keep most of this album. It's not that I don't like her nonparty "fun" music, Rainbow is probably my fave album from her, I just don't think this non party "fun" music is for me

 

as of now I'd rank her albums

 

1. Rainbow

2. Animal

3. High Road 

4. Warrior

5. Cannibal

6. Period

7. Gag Order

 

Mayb I'll see the vision eventually but as of now I don't 

Just had an epiphany (went to see a play about NB identities) and wow "Freedom" & "Cathedral" the queer anthems that you two are

Kesha being mother as always I can stand it

Ohhh the acclaim, the acclaim

 

i certain fanbase could only wish 

Baby, you got me obsessin'

I'm out here losin' my cool

Over my hoes and my exes

I guess I'm confessin' that I just want youuuu

i didn't really listen to the singles, the delusional cover art lowkey killed my interest in the era but after her explanation and remembering how much i enjoyed gag order (and every album aside from high road), i finally dove into this record and it's amazing….

 

it feels like a culmination of everything preceding this album, why is this lowkey her best

I thought I was going crazy — the "I've got a little buzz!" line is gone from Freedom! 

YES. There's also. New lyric at 5;12 "make me feel good"

That wasn't in the leak. 

 

First time listening to Kesha's new album. This track got me.

 

What's your favorite track?

 

I think my tracklist ranking for the first day of listening is:

 

FREEDOM

JOYRIDE

TOO HARD

LOVE FOREVER

DELUSIONAL

THE ONE

CATHEDRAL

YIPEE-KI-YAY

BOY CRAZY

RED FLAG

GLOW

 

Hoping with some more listens, Glow grows on me.

how many times is this gonna get asked

Just ordered my copy. 

Does anyone else feel like we got way too many singles before this came out? Especially because there’s only 11 songs

i wish the CD booklet had some more pages and photos.

Yes to be honest. Especially since we also heard a good chunk of the remaining tracks in some capacity before release. (Not counting the entire album leak)

1. Freedom - performed live months before release
2. Joyride
3. YKY
4. Delusional
5. Red Flag - she posted a snippet recording in the studio but Red Flag is one of the only songs that was completely 'unheard' on release day
6. Love Forever - unheard
7. The One - teased in a commercial before released as a single
8. Boy Crazy
9. Glow - demo leaked ages ago
10. Too Hard - unheard

11. Cathedral - performed live at TedX

It would have been nice to have more 'new' songs on release day. 

The album is incredible!

 

Hoping Bop It and Good Girl come out at some point

Oh no i'm sorry i didn't read all 121 pages just to make your life easier

He doesn't know me but he told that he really loves me …

The fact that my bottom 3 songs and the only ones I'm not keeping are Delusional, Yippee, and The One… she really chose the wrong singles for my taste but thank God the album slays

This is a Red Smash, this is a Red Smash 

 

red flag is showing joyride 2.0 signs on tik tok the audio is picking up 

Attention and red flag viral at the same time is most pleasing to me
