After nearly five years out of the game and a harrowing public legal battle with Dr Luke, Kesha is back, and it's immediately obvious she hasn't let any of her troubles get her down.
Rainbow is exactly the kind of album you would've expected; it's full of anthems and party tracks about empowerment, independence, survival and forgiveness, and if the ultimate revenge truly is living well, then she's sure as hell getting it.
When Kesha first blew up the airwaves with Tik Tok, she sang about partying and hangovers and was dismissed as inconsequential pop. And she didn't care. She still doesn't.
Even with so much to address, she's still singing about going out and having a good time and that's the real triumph of Rainbow; it's about letting go of pain and living your life how you want.
