Kesha says that Adele reached out to her this year
Speaking about writing her new music and surviving the past couple of tough years, here's what Kesha told Billboard.
Quote:
Since 2014, Kesha has been in the midst of a protracted legal battle to free herself from her recording contract with Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald, whom she accused of physical, sexual and emotional abuse (though she recently indicated she is willing to release new music through her existing contract). Earlier in 2016, a host of artists (Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Lorde, Demi Lovato and Haim, to name a few) started a #FreeKesha movement on social media, and, buoyed by that support, Kesha recently set out on tour. She says the new songs she’s working on “showcase my vulnerabilities as a strength and not as a weakness. In the past, I always felt like I was trying to prove something. Now, I’m writing what I want to share with the world, rather than trying to give the world what it wants. For better or worse, I’m just me.”
Freedom Fighter:
“During this election, I met a lot of LGBT homeless youth and was incredibly inspired by them. I want to promote equality until the day I die.”
Support System:
“Adele is nothing but class. She reached out to me privately and publicly in the middle of winning her own award [at the BRIT Awards 2016]. What a beautiful soul.”
Co-Writes:
“I’ve been writing a lot with Wrabel, who also is an artist. We have so much fun together. I’d love to collaborate with Mick Jagger, David Byrne, Bob Dylan and Neil Young. A girl can dream!”
