Kesha is set to release her first new material since 2013 with the announcement that she’s going to be releasing her new single, ‘Praying’, later today (July 6).

Kesha’s career as been on hold since she filed a lawsuit against record producer and songwriter Dr. Luke in 2014. She alleged that he sexually assaulted her and abuysed her over a 10-year period, charges that he denied. She dropped the lawsuit against him last year to concentrate on making new music.

A series of Instagram videos sees the singer announce the new single while thanking her fans by saying, “I couldn’t have done this without you.”

Kesha said: ”Animals, I have a surprise for you. Your support and love and kindness has gotten me through, hands down, the hardest time in my entire life. My new song, ‘Praying,’ is coming out tomorrow, and I couldn’t have done this without you. I fucking love you.”

According to Variety, the song has been co-written with Ryan Lewis of Macklemore fame.

She added: ”Just got back a mix of me and someone singing a duet crying happy tears never in my life imagined this dream could ever actually come true …. please pray one day y’all can hear this music. it’s the most vulnerable and honest I have ever been to myself and it’s literally documenting me growing up.

”I cannot wait and will forever fight for you to hear it. Merry everything and happy every day and thank you for not abandoning me while I fight the good fight. I just want to make art and let you hear it, that’s all I want for Christmas and my New Years resolution is to finish my record and give it to you. Thank you animals. love y’all.”
