It goes without saying that the lawsuit Kesha filed against Dr. Luke has taken a huge toll on her. For better or for worse, the singer has dropped the case against her former producer, as it’s put her life on too strong of a hold.
“Kesha has dismissed her California action without prejudice while she pursues her appeal and other legal claims in the New York courts,” the singer’s legal council, Daniel Petrocelli, said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Kesha is focused on getting back to work and has delivered 28 new songs to the record label. We have conveyed to Sony and the label Kesha’s strong desire to release her next album and single as soon as possible.”
It looks like that despite all of the anguish of her legal troubles, Kesha’s priority right now is to get back to her music. In a Facebook post on Monday she wrote, “My fight continues. I need to get my music out. I have so much to say.” She explained, “This lawsuit is so heavy on my once free spirit, and I can only pray to one day feel that happiness again. I am continuing to fight for my rights in New York.”
Here’s to hoping the next stage will bring peace of mind AND justice.
