Kesha hopes to "reclaim" her joy with her upcoming album while promising to "make some major shifts" within the music industry.
In a new interview with Elle, the "Joyride" singer explained that she wants her new music to reflect her sense of fun and joy, especially after experiencing a lot of "pain" and struggles, such as her years-long legal battle with producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, per People.
"Everybody knows me as a fun human being. My soul is very fun. My name means 'innocent joy.' But, you know, there's only so much somebody can take before just feeling wrecked..." she said, adding, "My soul needs this album. I need to reclaim my joy. Because I fought so f---ing long and hard for it."
Not only does she want her forthcoming album to show how far she has come over the years, but Kesha, who founded her own label Kesha Records, plans to make waves in the industry has a whole over the next decade.
"The music industry should be f---ing terrified of me," she said. "Because I'm about to make some major moves and shift this s---. I really want to dismantle it piece by piece and shine light into every corner. I hope my legacy is making sure it never happens to anybody ever again."
