K12

## Alternative Artwork

Deluxe Edition

K12 (working title) is American recording artist Kesha's upcoming 12th studio album. The album first started forming back in 2017, when Kesha wrote and partially produced one of the tracks on the album, although it was left unfinished. Kesha continued recording, writing and producing in 2022 after the release of her album Evergleam. It is being promoted as "her most substantial, unique, emotional and BEST album yet." The album will be released in Fall of 2022.

## Background

Kesha is known primarily for being a fun, unique and talented party girl. Kesha, as she started to age, realized that she is more than a girl who loves piss and partying. She has her own life struggles, her own pains and her own emotions that she needs to focus on and share. Kesha's deep love for her fans is why she started working on K12, with her most personal and heavy-hitting tracks to date. She loves writing music, and since 2017 she has been writing through her struggles and emotions. Spiritual awakenings, life and love lost and more are found at the core of this album. Kesha explores thoughts and the human mind. She still has her fun electropop party smashers, while also being honest and open. She has always been invested in pop-rock, and that influence is clear even through the most electropop tracks here. This is clearly Kesha wanting to break free, showing that while she's still a party girl at heart, she is a complex human being who also loves the sky, family, friends, and piss. An album that is clearly influenced by the sun, freedom and many more complexities in nature, Kesha finds strength and makes her most solid and consistent album to date. Produced in her newly built home studio, interestingly named "Mouth Toilet Studio", she put her all out there and set off to make what she believes is the greatest album of her career.

## Writing and Producing

The album was first written and produced starting in late 2017, as Kesha wrote and produced "Untitled Song 5" for her album Night Walk. The track was ultimately left unfinished and shelved until she began work on Evergleam, where she attempted to finish the track. Unfortunately, the song would be shelved again until July 2022, when Kesha began work on her upcoming 12th studio album. The track finally saw completion, with the help of Kesha's mother Pebe Sebert. Production of the album continued through the summer of 2022, with a total of 17 tracks being chosen for the final cut. Kesha reportedly wrote most of the tracks on the album from a place of extreme emotion, from love to disgust to sadness. Kesha has shown that she has writing talent and this album is "the most proud she's ever been while writing an album." This album also sees Kesha as the executive producer, with her most unique production being found in the tracks on this album. She is said to have experimented with many new sounds and production techniques. The writing and producing process is currently finished.

## Musical Style and Themes

In Kesha's 12th studio album she tackles addiction, death, temptation, societal norms and simply wanting someone to love you. These themes are intertwined with electropop, pop and pop-rock production that elevate the complexity of the themes to new heights. Using a new take of electropop infused with pop-rock is a very unique sound that only Kesha can pull off.
