Kesha has released the video for her song “Raising Hell” featuring Big Freedia, which leads Kesha’s new album, High Road. In the video, directed by Luke Gilford, Kesha plays a celebrity televangelist who murders her abusive husband. Find the video below.

High Road is out January 10, 2020 via Kemosabe/RCA. Kemosabe is Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald’s label. Kesha has been locked in a legal battle with Dr. Luke for years after she alleged that Dr. Luke sexually assaulted her. Sony Music ended its relationship with Dr. Luke in 2017.

The new album’s collaborators include Brian Wilson, Sturgill Simpson, John Hill, Dan Reynolds, Stuart Crichton, Jeff Bhasker, Drew Pearson, Nate Ruess, Justin Tranter, Stint, Wrabel, and Pebe Sebert, according to a press release.

Earlier this year, Kesha shared “Rich, White, Straight, Men,” in which she tackled the education system, body autonomy, the border wall, LGBTQ rights, and wage inequality. In 2018, she released “Here Comes the Change,” which she wrote for the Ruth Bader Ginsburg biopic On the Basis of Sex. Her last full length was 2017’s Rainbow.
