Zedd & Kesha – True Colors [Interscope Records]
If you are not up-to-date on Kesha‘s life, this will start off a bit disheartening. Kesha is still locked in a heated legal battle with her former producer and label, Dr. Luke and Sony, respectively. Dr. Luke allegedly raped Kesha, and Sony is refusing to let her out of her contract. Enter Zedd, the German producer who seems to have a magic touch when it comes to producing big records.
@KeshaRose very very sorry to hear about the whole situation. I'll be happy to produce a song for you if you want my help.

Zedd made good on that promise, as Kesha has revamped the track “True Colors,” the title track of Zedd‘s last studio album. The instrumental remains identical, but the emotional vocals from Kesha are what really make this track pop. What she has gone through is unimaginably difficult, and she has made a triumphant return to music. To put it simply, Kesha is incredibly talented, and Zedd has done the best thing possible for her: get her sound out into the public eye.
Dr. Luke seems a bit salty after all of this, but I don’t think too many people care.
Thanks for the clarification @Zedd …
