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.
