High Road is the upcoming fourth studio album by American singer Kesha, scheduled to be released through Kemosabe Records and RCA Records on January 10, 2020. It was co-produced by Jeff Bhasker and Ryan Lewis,[1] and was announced in a video trailer premiered by Rolling Stone on October 21, 2019.[2]
Background and writing
Kesha told Rolling Stone in October 2019 that the creation of the album was different to that of Rainbow (2017), saying that she "reconnected to the unrestrained joy and wildness that's always been a part of me—and in this process I have had the most fun I've ever had making a record."[2] She explained that on Rainbow, she "had to address some very serious things, and now this time around I have reclaimed my love of life".[2]
The album will "mark a full return to Kesha's pop roots", and was co-written by Kesha alongside her mother Pebe Sebert, Wrabel, Justin Tranter, Tayla Parx, Nate Ruess and Dan Reynolds.[1] It was originally scheduled to be released in December 2019,[1] before the release date of January 10, 2020.
Promotion
To promote the album, a hotline is available for fans to call to get updates on new music. When called, a recorded message from Kesha is played that says: "Aren't we all demons? Don't we all love to raise a little hell? I know I do. Time to get saved y'all. Release those demons. Let them dance." A text message is sent with a link to sign up for Kesha's phonebook.[3] After signing up, fans receive a message saying, "Can't go to heaven without raising a little hell, darlin', let's go". Another text message was sent on October 22, 2019, telling fans to call the hotline as she announces the lead single, "Raising Hell". Later the same day, Kesha confirmed the single is coming Thursday, October 24. The next day, Kesha sent the trailer to fans for the music video of "Raising Hell".
