Few people in pop music have earned a comeback more than Kesha Sebert. For over a decade, her career has been defined by producer and ex-collaborator Lukasz Gottwald, a man she openly despises with good reason. Kesha sued the producer, better known as Dr. Luke, in 2014, accusing him of rape and psychological abuse. (The case was settled in 2023.) Yet her music was still bound to him both literally — she didn’t get out of her contract with Luke’s Kemosabe Records until 2023 — and figuratively. Sometimes that subtext was intentional, as on diss track “Praying,” or the title of her final Kemosabe album, Gag Order (since renamed Eat The Acid).
