American pop star Kesha is preparing to celebrate her next era in music, today announcing a new album and releasing the first single.
Her sixth album, . PERIOD (stylised as a full-stop) will be released on Friday, 4 July, via her own independent label, Kesha Records and distributed via ADA Worldwide, the independent label and artist services arm of Warner Music Group.
To kick off the album campaign, Kesha has released the new single, YIPPEE-KI-YAY. featuring T-Pain. Produced by Pink Slip (Ava Max, Jason Derulo) and Nova Wav (Beyoncé, Rihanna), the track arrives following the release of already-debuted songs, JOYRIDE and DELUSIONAL, both of which will feature on the forthcoming album.
Kesha’s upcoming full-length has been described as an “unapologetic, unfiltered declaration of artistic freedom and fearless authenticity,” an 11-track collection that transcends pop music trends and crosses genre boundaries.

PERIOD is the follow-up to Kesha’s 2023 album, Gag Order. It represents a new chapter in her career, following the release of JOYRIDE and DELUSIONAL and the establishment of her record label.
Reviewing her set at AO Live, The Music’s Michael Prebeg wrote, “After a quick costume change, Kesha returns in a white singlet top with the words ‘Kath & Kim & Kesha’ across it. She continues to sing one of her biggest hot collaborations with Pitbull, Timber. The crowd goes wild, and a huge singalong strikes up.”
