Pop sensation, Kesha has announced highly-anticipated new album Gag Order set for a May 19th release. To celebrate the release, Kesha has released two new single off the album, “Eat The Acid” and “Fine Line” available now on all music streaming platforms including Apple Music.
“Fine Line” is a naked admission of the absurdities of the fickle world we live in, playing out like an otherworldly look at the fragile dualities of life – things that can change in the blink of an eye. It ties into the forthcoming album’s overarching theme of embracing the lightness of life only by also embracing the darkness.
On “Eat The Acid”, over a humming organ-like synthesizer, Kesha recounts an existential breakthrough she had one night. Kesha had this to say about the track:
This night sent me like a rabid animal into a journey of self-discovery within my consciousness… My ego, or sense of aloneness, now suddenly felt like just a small part of the whole. My ego felt dismantled…. I woke up the morning after this experience and wrote the first song for this album, the seed and catalyst for the whole project.
My mom warned me at a very young age to not take acid. She told me how she had taken some as a teen and it had shown her so much… too much. I made it a point to never, ever touch it. I still haven’t. I didn’t want to see it all. I wanted to live blissfully unaware and happy.
