Kesha Releases New Album, . (PERIOD), Out Today
Multi-Platinum global pop superstar Kesha is celebrating Independence Day with today’s long awaited arrival of her acclaimed new album, . (PERIOD), available everywhere now via her own Kesha Records. An array of formats and exclusive bundles are on offer, including standard CD, digital album, and limited edition Punish Me Pink vinyl, available exclusively at the official kesha.store.
Hailed by Rolling Stone in a four-out-of-five-star rave as “a frisky pop record that delights in throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks,” . (PERIOD) has quickly been met by explosive praise for such standout tracks as “THE ONE.,” which debuted No. 1 on iTunes US across all genres.
. (PERIOD) further includes such instant fan favorites as “BOY CRAZY.,” joined by an official music video out now on Kesha’s official YouTube channel. Directed by Kesha, Brett Loudermilk & Zain Curtis, the NSFW visual was met by widespread media attention from the likes of Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Billboard, and People, the latter of which wrote, “Kesha is getting raunchy…The clip (for “BOY CRAZY.”) finds her in the midst of a filthy party reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper painting… As the chorus comes in, the men (wearing a wide range of clothing, some in nearly nothing) all dance around the GRAMMY®-nominated artist and begin to cause a sexually-charged ruckus at the table.”
“ATTENTION!” – released as a standalone single separately from the standard album – features pop disruptor Slayyyter and rising UK artist Rose Gray, both of whom are accompanying Kesha as special guests on her just underway North American headline tour, which kicked off earlier this week with a spectacular show before a sold out crowd of over 18,000 ecstatic “Animals” at West Valley City, UT’s Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre.

Additional presales will run ahead of the general onsale which begins on Friday, May 1st at 10am local HERE.
The Loveland Tour is in support of Suki’s forthcoming album, which she recently announced will be out July 10th via Island Records. Following the album announcement, Suki dropped her new single “Tiny Raisin,” which Billboard included in their best new music of the week list praising, “True to form, Suki Waterhouse takes listeners on a ride,” and Wonderland who commented, “She wails, she vocally sashays, and she sings her heart out on this fuck you, love you anthem.”
Loveland follows Suki’s sophomore album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin – an album that established her as an evocative storyteller, consummate creative, and a powerhouse live performer. The album was released to critical acclaim with Interview Magazine calling it “her most vulnerable body of work yet” to the Los Angeles Times praising how she “sparkles and shines” on the album, and SPIN hailing that it “marks an important milestone, solidifying her as an artist with a presence as enigmatic as it is captivating.”

Shaboozey Announces Sprawling Outlaws Never Die Tour
Today, the GRAMMY®-winning, record-breaking singer-songwriter Shaboozey has announced the Outlaws Never Die Tour. Following its July 31st release, his new concept album The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales will come to life onstage alongside beloved hits as Shaboozey brings his lauded, high-energy show to theaters and arenas throughout America and Canada.
Presales are live on Wednesday, April 29 at 10AM local time, with general onsale launching on Friday, May 1st at 10AM local time. Buy tickets HERE.
After previously announced festival dates throughout the summer, Shaboozey will kick off the Outlaws Never Die Tour with a show in Phoenix in early September. Across the run, Shaboozey will invite an array of special guests and past collaborators echoing the genre-blurring adventurousness and crossover appeal of his music, including Brittney Spencer, Noeline Hofmann, Kashus Culpepper, Carter Faith, and Angel White. BigXThaPlug will also join for two special shows in Canada, while Noah Cyrus will open at Colorado’s hallowed Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The tour concludes with a blowout finale at Los Angeles’ famed Greek Theatre.
Shaboozey has partnered with PLUS1 for the Outlaws Never Die Tour, with $1 from each ticket supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
“Music has an extraordinary power to bring people together and inspire change, and we’re incredibly grateful to Shaboozey for using his voice and his tour to support St. Jude through this PLUS1 campaign,” said Lyles Eddins, Senior Vice President of Development for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Generosity like this helps ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.”
The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales is a cinematic outlaw revenge story with a tragic love at its center. After watching her sheriff father murdered by the Bootcut Boys, Cherie Lee abandons the badge and hunts the gang down one by one. In the middle of her vengeance, she unexpectedly falls for one of the outlaws. He believes loving her can redeem him; she hopes loving him can quiet her darkness. They’re both wrong. In the final act, Cherie chooses blood over love, killing the man who loves her most and fully becoming what she set out to destroy.
The news of Shaboozey’s latest album arrives to more anticipation than ever, following a whirlwind two years kicked off by 2024’s breakthrough record Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going and a slew of smash hits including the GRAMMY®-nominated “Good News” and the history-making, Diamond-certified “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Last year, Shaboozey released the expanded edition of Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, featuring “Amen” with Jelly Roll, which won the GRAMMY® for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Earlier this month, he received two Academy Of Country Music Award nominations, including New Male Artist Of The Year and Music Event Of The Year for “Amen.” The Outlaws Never Die Tour marks Shaboozey’s return to solo dates after joining Jelly Roll as a special guest in Australia on the Down Under 2025 Tour, as well as criss-crossing America with a string of sold-out shows on his own Great American Roadshow tour last fall.
