After years of bad legal battles and clever teases of new music, Kesha has finally released a brand new song – And its an emotional one.

“Praying,” emotional new single, begins quietly before exploding into pure catharsis. The vibrant video is just the beginning. Kesha’s new album, Rainbow — her first since 2012’s Warrior — is due out August 11, the singer shared in a revealing essay via the Lenny blog Thursday morning (July 6).

This is what Kesha said about her new album:

“This album is me. The most raw and real art I have ever created, and now it’s my gift to you, I hope you love it. Thank you for not giving up on me. We made it <3. I love you all so much.”
