Sobre el álbum
El tercer álbum de estudio, Rainbow, de 2017, es una de las obras de regreso más valientes, conmovedoras y artísticamente importantes de la música pop reciente. Lanzado tras un largo y traumático período de batallas legales contra su exproductor, este disco es un acto de catarsis, un grito de supervivencia y una reafirmación de Kesha como artista y como mujer.
Por esta razón, el sonido del álbum es una ruptura total con su pasado. Kesha abandona el electropop procesado para abrazar un sonido orgánico, que fusiona el pop, el rock, el soul y, sobre todo, el country. De hecho, por primera vez, su increíble y potente voz se escucha sin artificios, llena de una emoción cruda y real.
Además, el single principal, "Praying", es la pieza central del disco. Esta poderosa balada al piano, con su inolvidable nota alta, es un himno de perdón y superación que se convirtió en un símbolo de la era #MeToo. El álbum también cuenta con colaboraciones sorprendentes, como la de la banda de rock Eagles of Death Metal o la leyenda del country Dolly Parton. Consecuentemente, el disco fue aclamado por la crítica y nominado a los premios Grammy.
En resumen, "Rainbow" es una obra maestra de la resiliencia. Es el sonido de una artista que transforma su dolor en arte de una belleza y una fuerza extraordinarias. Por lo tanto, no solo es el mejor álbum de la carrera de Kesha, sino también un trabajo fundamental que redefinió su carrera y que inspiró a millones de personas.

[Music video spoken intro:] "Am I dead? Or is this one of those dreams? Those horrible dreams that seem like they last forever? If I am alive, why? Why? If there is a God or whatever, something, somewhere, why have I been abandoned by everyone and everything I've ever known? I've ever loved? Stranded. What is the lesson? What is the point? God, give me a sign, or I have to give up. I can't do this anymore. Please just let me die. Being alive hurts too much." Well, you almost had me fooled Told me that I was nothing without you Oh, and after everything you've done I can thank you for how strong I have become 'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell I had to learn how to fight for myself And we both know all the truth I could tell I'll just say this is I wish you farewell I hope you're somewhere praying, praying I hope your soul is changing, changing I hope you find your peace Falling on your knees, praying I'm proud of who I am No more monsters, I can breathe again And you said that I was done Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come 'Cause I can make it on my own And I don't need you, I found a strength I've never known I've been thrown out, I've been burned ([Live version:] I'll bring thunder, I'll bring rain) When I'm finished, they won't even know your name You brought the flames and you put me through hell I had to learn how to fight for myself And we both know all the truth I could tell I'll just say this is I wish you farewell I hope you're somewhere praying, praying I hope your soul is changing, changing I hope you find your peace Falling on your knees, praying Oh, sometimes, I pray for you at night Oh, someday, maybe you'll see the light Oh, some say, in life you gonna get what you give But some things, only God can forgive I hope you're somewhere praying, praying I hope your soul is changing, changing I hope you find your peace Falling on your knees, praying - Learn To Let Go3:38

Letra
What do you get when you take Godzilla to the mall? He scares all the children and shreds all the pillows And knocks over walls His emerald eyes, they sparkle and shine As he eats the food court and steals half my fries That's what you get when you take Godzilla to the mall What do you get when you take Godzilla to meet your mom? He rings the bell and she looks out the window, and calls the cops I try to explain that he's mostly tame As long as there's pizza and video games That's what you get when you take Godzilla to meet your mom While everyone else is running and screaming I just love being with you I guess they don't see all the things that I'm seein' That make you so uniquely you, you, you, you What do you get when you meet Godzilla and fall in love? - Spaceship5:15

I'm nothing more than recycled stardust and borrowed energy, born from a rock, spinning in the ether. I watch my life backwards and forwards and I feel free. Nothing is real, love is everything, and I know nothing."
