High Road is due in December and was preceded by a trailer earlier this week. Speaking about the album earlier this year Kesha said she'd "got her balls back" while recording it.

The LP will mark a full return to Kesha's pop roots, after leaning into a more country-soul sound on her last record, 2017's Rainbow. It was co-written with her mom Pebe, Wrabel, Justin Tranter, Tayla Parx, Nate Ruess, and Dan Reynolds (of Imagine Dragons). Production was handled by Jeff Bhasker and Ryan Lewis.
