{"product_id":"gag_order","title":"Gag Order","description":"\u003cp\u003eKesha’s Gag Order (later retitled Eat the Acid on many digital platforms) is her fifth studio album, released on May 19, 2023, via Kemosabe and RCA Records and serving as the final project under the recording contract she signed as a teenager. Executive-produced by Kesha and largely co-produced with Rick Rubin at his Shangri-La studio, the album runs roughly 39 minutes and is framed as a “post-pop” work that pushes far beyond her earlier party-pop sound into art pop, experimental, electronic, and psychedelic territory, while also drawing on minimalism, hyperpop, soul, lo-fi, dark wave, country, and gospel influences. Across its 13 tracks—featuring songs like Something to Believe In, Eat the Acid, Living in My Head, Fine Line, Only Love Can Save Us Now, and The Drama—the production often favors sparse, eerie textures, distorted vocals, and shifting song structures that give the project a stream-of-consciousness, “emotional exorcism” feel rather than a conventional pop album polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLyrically, Gag Order dives into some of Kesha’s darkest and most introspective material to date, explicitly engaging with themes of depression, death, emotional exploitation, control, spiritual questioning, and the search for truth in the aftermath of her long-running legal battle with producer Dr. Luke. The title itself alludes to the constraints she felt around speaking openly about that case, and Kesha has described the record as raw, uncomfortable, and liberating, bundling emotions of anger, insecurity, anxiety, grief, pain, and regret into songs that oscillate between quiet confession and explosive catharsis. Critics have generally received the album positively, praising its vulnerability and ambitious songwriting and calling it her least commercial but most mature work, even as some note that the experimental production choices may divide listeners accustomed to her earlier, more straightforward pop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53741599719738,"sku":"39195","price":30.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":53741599752506,"sku":"39196","price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-15_at_9.02.43_PM_0d102464-b424-42a9-a4a2-30648c945c1b.jpeg?v=1784163949","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/gag_order","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
