Teletubby 138,582 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Gag Order is an album that finds the GRAMMY-nominated pop star, Kesha, excavating the deepest recesses of her soul to date. The record, which Kesha has labeled “post-pop” and was produced by Rick Rubin, is a full-bodied collection that flows like a stream of conscious journey through the psychedelic dark depths of the human psyche followed by basking in the cleansing light when finally reaching the surface. CD: May 19 https://monstermusicsc.com/UPC/196588011429 Vinyl: June 30 https://record-stop.com/products/kesha-gag-order-bone-colored-vinyl-vinyl “Living in My Head” - Kesha says she wrote in the middle of another panic attack, is a painful listen in the tradition of John Lennon’s “Cold Turkey.” “Every time I listen to ‘Living in My Head’ I just want to curl up in a ball and hide,” she says. “Eat the Acid” she and Rubin wrote over Zoom early on in the pandemic, her vocals lagging behind the music like her hero Captain Beefheart yelling the lyrics to Trout Mask Replica through the glass of the recording booth. Rubin chose that take — which she recorded on her phone next to her cats’ litter box — for the album. Although they’d go on to record most of the album in professional studios, Rubin kept a lot of Kesha’s iPhone scratch vocals in the mix. “Fine Line” - comes the closest to addressing her current legal predicament, which, of course, is echoed in the title of the album. “I feel as if there has been an implied gag order for a very long time now,” she says. “With my ongoing litigation hanging over my head, I have not been able to speak freely because I know everything I say is scrutinized.” She rants at “all the doctors and lawyers [who] cut the tongue out of my mouth,” culminating with the line: “But hey, look at all the money we made off me. “Only Love Can Save Us Now” - kicks off with the most Ke$ha line on the record: “Tell a bitch I can’t jump this Evel Knievel.” “Too Far Gone” - she wrote after ending her secret engagement to a boyfriend she won’t name, who she says is still a friend. “All I Need Is You” - is about Mr. Peeps, who almost died in 2022. “I had to go into ninja mode and find medication and learn how to inject him,” she says. “I wrote that song in the middle of him being really sick. It is about loving myself, and it’s also a love song to my highest form of consciousness and to some sort of God. But the seed of that song is about Mr. Peeps, the true love of my life.” “Only Love Reprise” - Kesha’s eight-year-old niece, Luna's reciting a quote from a Fifties LSD experiment: “I wish I could talk in Technicolor.” “The Drama” - features sample of “I Wanna Be Sedated” by The Ramones https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/kesha-new-album-gag-order-interview-rick-rubin-1234719932/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
