Kesha Might Be Re-Releasing 'Rainbow' With New Songs
The 'Praying' singer reportedly has a deluxe edition coming...
One of the biggest blessings of 2017 has been Kesha's return to music and it looks like we might be getting more sometime soon.
Just weeks after her third album received two GRAMMY nominations - her first ever! - it has been reported that she is planning to re-release Rainbow with a few new songs.
The very exciting news seems pretty legitimate as the source is Jon Castelli, a mixing engineer who worked on the album and its lead single 'Praying'.
This is a real, this is, excuse me?
Ok, shut up
I buy my own things, I pay my own bills
These diamond rings, my automobiles
Everything I got, I bought it, boys can't buy my love, buy my love, yeah
I do what I want (She does), say what you say
I work real hard every day
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight
I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
Let's drive around town in my Cadillac
Girls in the front, boys in the back
Loosey as a goosey and we're looking for some fun
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight
I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
Mmh, yeah
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run my shit, baby (I run my shit)
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I write this shit, baby, I write this shit
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run my shit, baby, I run my shit
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey" (Don't touch my weave, baby)
'Cause I run my shit, baby, I run my shit
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run this shit, baby, I run this shit
Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I write this shit, baby, I write this shit
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight
I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
In a profile by SOS, Castelli revealed that after he completed the mix on 'Praying' (which was originally titled 'Prayer', fun fact!), he was approached by Kesha's producers to do some more songs.
"Kesha's A&R offered me another seven songs to mix, three of which also ended up on the album," he says before dropping the big bombshell. "Two more of the tracks I mixed will come out on a deluxe version of the album."
Two new songs?! That were recorded in the original sessions? This is the best news EVER!
As no official announcement has been made yet, we'll need to wait for further details about how many new songs we're getting and, more importantly, when we'll hear them.
With the GRAMMY Awards taking place next month on January 28th, a re-release around then would be a genius move considering Kesha could walk away with two of the night's biggest awards.
In other news, she just announced a joint tour with Macklemore for next summer, which we really hope she adds some UK and Ireland dates for!

Had a bitterness when I looked back
Was telling everyone it's not that bad
'Til all my shit hit the fan
I know I'm always like
Telling everybody you don't gotta be a victim
Life ain't always fair, but hell is living in resentment
Choose redemption
Your happy ending's up to you
I think it's time to practice what I preach
Exorcise the demons inside me
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Live and learn and never forget it
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go
Had a boogieman under my bed
Putting crazy thoughts inside my head
Always whispering, "It's all your fault"
He was telling me, "No, you're not that strong"
I know I'm always like
Telling everybody you don't have to be a victim
Life ain't always fair, but hell is living in resentment
Choose redemption
Your happy ending's up to you
So, I think it's time to practice what I preach
Exorcise the demons inside me
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Live and learn and never forget it
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Learn to let go, learn to let go
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Learn to let go, learn to let go
I'm done reliving my bad decisions
I see now maybe there's a reason why
I've been through hell and back
Yeah, honestly, it's all made me who I am
Holding on to wasted time
Gotta learn to let go in life
So, I think it's time to practice what I preach
Exorcise the demons inside me
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Live and learn and never forget it
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Learn to let go, learn to let go
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Learn to let go, learn to let go
