Multi-platinum pop renegade Kesha is in the building with a jam out of the Wild West for her latest single, “YIPPEE-KI-YAY.,” with the king of Auto-Tune himself, T-Pain. Released ahead of her forthcoming new album, “. (PERIOD),” to be released on July 4th via her own Kesha Records and distributed via ADA Worldwide, this is a fearsome, freewheeling anthem that embodies Kesha’s trademark blend of rebellion and pleasure.
A genre-blurring, high-octane banger from the Pink Slip and Nova Wav dynamic duo, “YIPPEE-KI-YAY.” is a wild-drunk, neon-lit saloon party where pop, hip-hop, and country all crash into each other. The track thumps with stomping beats, glistening production, and a catchy hook, so be sure to put your hands in the air.
When elevating a party track, no one is better than T-Pain. His trademark charisma and gravelly cadence make for the ideal counterweight to Kesha’s unfiltered energy, making a surprising and natural partnership. The chemistry between the two artists is undeniable, as they have admired each other’s work for a while, and “YIPPEE-KI-YAY.” proves they were overdue to link up.
This single is a taste of what’s to come. With “. (PERIOD),” Kesha has been entirely in the driver’s seat, giving voice to her music and every aspect of her artistry on her own terms. If “YIPPEE-KI-YAY.” indicates, this album will be a brazen, defiant trip with a pack of attitude, invention, and good old-fashioned fun.
