Kesha发布新歌《Joyride》自信满满，曾和Dr. Luke互撕纠缠九年

37岁的凯莎终于出新歌了。歌词里她自信满满：“姐是辣妹，你行吗?钱已赚够，就差个你!”副歌更是嗨到飞起：“引擎轰鸣，开车咯!刺激归刺激，但我可是主角!滴滴，辣妹喊你上车，别磨蹭，一起狂欢吧!”

凯莎和卢克博士的官司纠缠了九年，现在终于翻篇了!Kesha说：“那晚的事，只有天知道。反正都过去了，我要开启新篇章，希望大家都能和平相处。”而卢克呢，还是坚持否认，但看样子也是想翻篇，各自安好了。

The party doesn’t start until Kesha walks in, and the 37-year-old pop singer kicked off the 4th of July with a brand-new song. Her latest bop, “Joyride,” is the first single that Kesha has released since she settled her lawsuit against record producer Dr. Luke. In the new track, Kesha revisits her initial pop roots.

派对要等到凯莎入场才开始，这位37岁的流行歌手用一首新歌开启了7月4日。她最新的热门单曲《Joyride》是自她与唱片制作人卢克博士达成和解后发布的第一首单曲。在这首新歌中，凯莎重温了自己的流行音乐初心。

“Are you a man? ‘Cause I’m a bitch / I’m already rich, just looking for that (Mm) / This party sucks, I’m ’bout to ditch,” Kesha sings in the first verse, before she takes a turn in the chorus, which goes, “Rev my engine ’til you make it purr / Keep it kinky, but I come first / Beep-beep, bitch, I’m outside / Get in, loser, for the joyride.”

“你是男人吗?因为我是个辣妹/我已经很富有了，只是在寻找那种感觉(嗯)/这个派对太烂了，我要走了”，凯莎在第一段歌词中唱道，随后进入副歌部分，“启动我的引擎，直到它发出咆哮声/保持刺激，但我要先来/哔哔，辣妹，我在外面/进来吧，失败者，来一场刺激的兜风”。

The “get in, loser” lyric seemingly refers to the famous Mean Girls line from Regina George, who says, “Get in, loser, we’re going shopping.”

“进来吧，失败者”这句歌词似乎引用了《贱女孩》中雷吉娜·乔治那句著名的台词：“进来吧，失败者，我们要去购物了”。

The fun dance track comes a decade after Kesha accused Dr. Luke in 2014 of drugging and sexual assaulting her. She also claimed at the time that this caused her to develop an eating disorder. Dr. Luke denied her allegations and countersued Kesha. In 2016, a judge dismissed all of the “Cannibal” singer’s abuse allegations, citing that the claims were outside of the statute of limitations.

这首欢快的舞曲出现在凯莎2014年指控卢克博士给她下药并性侵她的事件十年之后。她当时还声称，这导致她患上了饮食失调症。卢克博士否认了她的指控，并对凯莎提起了反诉。2016年，一名法官驳回了这位《Cannibal》歌手的所有虐待指控，理由是这些指控已超出诉讼时效。

Kesha and Dr. Luke’s volatile legal battle went on for years until they came to an agreement last year. In June 2023, the former music collaborators released statements, announcing the end of their brutal dispute.

凯莎和卢克博士之间激烈的法律斗争持续了数年，直到去年才达成和解。2023年6月，这两位昔日的音乐合作伙伴发表声明，宣布结束他们之间残酷的争端。

“Only God knows what happened that night,” Kesha said in her statement, referring to the alleged night that she was assaulted. “As I have always said, I cannot recount everything that happened. I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning a new one. I wish nothing but peace to all parties involved.”

“只有上帝知道那个晚上发生了什么，”凯莎在声明中谈及她声称被侵犯的那个晚上时说道，“我一直以来都说，我无法回忆起所有发生的事情。我期待能结束我生命中的这一篇章，并开启新的篇章。我只希望所有相关方都能和平共处。”

For his part, Dr. Luke continued to deny the “Blow” singer’s allegations, saying in his statement, “While I appreciate Kesha again acknowledging that she cannot recount what happened that night in 2005, I am absolutely certain that nothing happened. I never drugged or assaulted her and would never do that to anyone. For the sake of my family, I have vigorously fought to clear my name for nearly 10 years. It is time for me to put this difficult matter behind me and move on with my life. I wish Kesha well.”

卢克博士则继续否认这位《Blow》歌手的指控，他在声明中表示：“虽然我很感激凯莎再次承认她无法回忆起2005年那个晚上发生的事情，但我确信什么都没发生。我从未给她下药或侵犯她，也绝不会对任何人做这种事。为了我的家人，我已经努力了近10年来澄清我的名誉。现在是时候把这件棘手的事情抛诸脑后，继续我的生活了。我祝愿凯莎一切都好。”

In December 2023, Kesha officially left Dr. Luke’s label, Kemosabe Records, after dropping her album Gag Order, which she was contractually obligated to release with his label.

2023年12月，凯莎在发行了与卢克博士的唱片公司合约中规定的专辑《Gag Order》后，正式离开了卢克博士的唱片公司Kemosabe Records。
