Bonnie Mckee refuses to defend Kesha, no songs on KP4
Quote:
Now that she’s completed all the visuals for the Bombastic EP, McKee is working on recording a full-length album and hopes to release new music early next year. Though she spent much of the past year in writing camps for other artists, she’s currently focusing on her solo work instead of collaborating with others. She says she doesn’t know, for instance, if she’ll work on the new LP from Katy Perry, with whom she co-wrote No. 1 hits like “Teenage Dream” and “Roar.” (McKee worked on several of those songs with producer Dr. Luke, who’s currently in a contentious legal battle with fellow McKee collaborator Kesha; “I think the whole thing is really sad,” McKee says. “I really can’t say one way or another.”)
I wouldn't defend her either. I mean, she lost her case and then it has nothing to do with me, so why comment on it? She had the right response, it's a sad situation all around.
Considering she's close with both parties, I think the response is appropriate. As someone pointed out earlier, she's subtly leaned towards Kesha at times too.
It would only hurt Bonnie's career to say anything more than what she said. She's so intertwined with the Dr. Luke machine that she can't diss him in some interview and then expect to go to work the next day and still have a job. In the same regard, she would face huge backlash if she supported Dr. Luke.
She's staying in her own damn lane and she has every right to.
