Keshasays she has “never felt happier” as she is marking a “brand-new and very exciting chapter” in her career.
The 36-year-old pop star caught up withV Magazinejust two months after sheparted wayswith record labels Kemosabe and RCA Records, as well as Vector Management.
Revealing that she has her eye on one date in particular when it comes to being able to release new material, Kesha told the publication, “I’ll say … to all my fans, all my animals, this has been a ride. I’ll say that there is a day — although I won’t say the day — but there is a day marked on my calendar when I am free to release music.”
“So just know that she is out here in the woods writing and singing till four in the morning, ferociously. I am being a feral wild woman out here. So just know that,” she added.

When asked about what’s to come in her career, Kesha — who told the outlet that she has written “somewhere between seven and 10 songs” during her stint as a teacher for an Esalen Institute songwriting course — explained her current mindset, noting: “I’ll say this: I’ve never felt happier, more excited, more at peace and had such a purpose in my entire life.”
“And I feel like I have earned the right to be this happy for sure. So letting that be … I am loving every minute of what feels like a brand-new and very exciting chapter,” she added.

The new chapter follows both the end of Kesha’s legal battle with producerLukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwaldin June, and the end of her contract with Gottwald’s Kemosabe label, distributed through RCA Records.
Last year, she also reportedly “amicably” stopped working with Vector Management, and Kesha thensigned with Crush Managementearlier this month.
In June 2023, Kesha and Gottwald, 50, agreed to resolve his defamation lawsuit out of court. The Grammy winner sued Gottwald nearly a decade before, accusing him of sexual, emotional and physical abuse. Both Gottwald and Kesha released statements last year about the settlement.
“Only God knows what happened that night. As I have always said, I cannot recount everything that happened,” wrote Kesha. “I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning a new one. I wish nothing but peace to all parties involved.”
At the time, Gottwald wrote, “While I appreciate Kesha again acknowledging that she cannot recount what happened that night in 2005, I am absolutely certain that nothing happened.”

In recent months, Kesha has teased new music with some fun DIY signage, as she was first spotted in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven in Los Angeles last month with a handwritten sign reading “NEW MUSIC COMING SOON!” She has also uploaded several photos and videos from recording studio sessions to social media.
Kesha’s most recent LP,Gag Order, was released in May 2023.
