Through her own label, Kesha Records, the singer has leaned back into the maximalist pop sound that made her a star while embracing a freer, more experimental style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Her latest album, &#8220;Period,&#8221; released in July 2025, blends glossy hyperpop production with the playful chaos and irreverent energy that defined the early hits that launched her career in the early 2010s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More Information<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kesha: 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 27.
