It’s been nearly three years since Kesha released her 2017 album, Rainbow, and now, after keeping a relatively low profile in the last year, the Tik Tok singer has dropped a brand new one — High Road.

The 52-minute album features 15 original tracks from the 32-year-old. It includes a number of featured artists, such as Wrabel, Sturgill Simpsons and Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson.

There’s even a track called Kinky that credits “Ke$ha” — Kesha’s former stage name — as a feature.

“Does [this] mean Kesha is just as relevant now as she was ten years ago?” tweeted one fan. “Maybe so.”

This spring, Kesha will embark on an extensive North American tour to promote the album.

She’ll stop at Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ont., on June 5.
