Kesha releases her first new music in four years
Kesha has released her first new music in four years and announced a forthcoming album, her first since a high-profile legal battle with Dr. Luke over a lawsuit accusing the music producer of sexual assault and harassment. Kesha has debuted ‘‘Praying,’’ the lead single from ‘‘Rainbow,’’ her first album since 2012’s ‘‘Warrior.
’’ Co-written by Ryan Lewis, ‘‘Praying’’ features lyrics about overcoming adversity. In an essay for Lenny Letter, Kesha writes that the song is about ‘‘coming to feel empathy for someone else even if they hurt you or scare you.’’ Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, has denied Kesha’s allegations. ‘‘Rainbow’’ is due out Aug. 11 and features appearances by Dolly Parton, Eagles of Death Metal and the Dap-Kings.

Madonna says the children’s wing at a hospital in Malawi she has been building for two years completed its first surgery last week and will officially open July 11. The Mercy James Institute for Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in the city of Blantyre, had a soft opening and is the first of its kind in Malawi. It was built in collaboration with the Malawian Ministry of Health. Madonna adopted two children, David Banda and Mercy James, from Malawi. The pop star’s charity, Raising Malawi, has funded the pediatric unit, which began construction in 2015. The children’s unit will enable Queen Elizabeth hospital to double the number of surgeries for children and will provide critical pre-operative and post-operative care. (AP)
