All signs point to Kesha finally fulfilling her destiny and recording a rock album. The 29-year-old recently hit the studio with Eagles Of Death Metal and has been working on gritty tunes with hitmaker Ricky Reed. “When I first met Kesha I was blown away by her vision for what she wants this album to be,” the producer behind Twenty One Pilots’ “Ride” and Phantogram’s “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore” wrote on Instagram. “She is one of the most unflinchingly authentic rock and rollers we’ve had grace the halls of [his studio] Elysian Park.”

“So when she asked for something gritty I knew I had to give her the rudest tone I could dig up,” he continued. “Enter my Travis Bean (look it up) and vintage Vox AC4. My shoulder is covering the pedal where the added fuzz is coming from. That one stays with me. Chime in your grittiest combination.” While Kesha’s third album is heading in a rock direction, it’s certain to have other influences. She has also been working with Captain Cuts (Bebe Rexha’s “I Got You”) and has been hanging out with Macklemore. See Ricky’s post below.
