Kesha's career has been troubled, to say the least, over the last few years thanks to her ongoing legal dispute with producer Dr. Luke.
Yesterday, however, he released her first song in five years and it's already garnered quite a bit of attention, with over 4 million views on YouTube at time of writing, and an immediate chart placing in the Billboard Top 200.
Her third album 'Rainbow' is set for release on August 11th and features Eagles of Death Metal and Dolly Parton.
Before then, hear 'Praying' - which opens with a dramatic monologue about god and 'being abandoned by everyone and everything' - and see the Twitter reaction below:
Good for Kesha. She became a warrior in the face of adversity and came out stronger. #PRAYING is powerful yet humble. What an artist.
