Sounds like Brian is just on the backing vocals. Matt might be lurking in a couple of the high parts as well. Seems like a nice enough song.

That’s a surprisingly good song: Kesha generally leaves me underwhelmed at best and nauseated at worst, but that’s not bad. A lot more Sturgill than Brian from what I hear on my phone, but I look forward to giving it a listen at home later.
Thanks for sharing that.

Meh. At least she no longer sings with the same vocal style she did when she arrived on the pop scene with "Tick Tock."

Honestly, I can barely pick Brian's part out. Does anybody know why Kesha...chose...Brian Wilson?

I don’t think I’ve ever voluntarily listened to a Kesha song before but this was really nice! She sounds good paired with Sturgill. The only time I thought I detected Brian was in the very first harmony section, but I couldn’t hear him at any other point.

Thanks for the correction. I remember when that came out, thinking that was the worst pop song I'd ever heard. Much to my dismay, I've probably said that about at least five or six other songs since it was released a decade or so ago.

Everything I've ever heard from her is overproduced and horrendous, frankly. But this one really isn't anywhere near so bad. Almost tasteful. If that's been inside of her, she's hidden it well. Maybe it was Simpson's influence; the song sounds more like his than her typical fare, anyway. However they got there, though, kudos to her. Maybe it will inspire her to make non-crap.

I had a similar thought regarding Sturgill's possible influence, it does sound more like a Sturgill song than a Kesha song. It would be nice if a trend toward more "real" sounding music caught on because of this.

I remember reading a blurb about her where she kicked some sort of addiction (drinking, drugs, both), and sort of shed her party girl persona with her more recent music. I'll give her credit, she's a far more talented singer than she lead people to believe with her previous attempts at music.

In re both of the previous two posts, absolutely. Re Kesha's past, I know she had been working with "super producers" (including the one I believe she has accused of harassment or even rape?). But maybe she has real musical roots beneath that nonsense. I would absolutely welcome a change back toward human beings playing instruments to make music! I'm not opposed to programming in music, but when everything is electronic, I really tend to lose interest quickly. I'm not at all opposed to pop music, I just wish pop music were more natural again.

Maybe this is this is the optimist in me taking over but shifts do happen. Like when someone like Adele for example comes along, and does extraordinarily well and makes a lot of money, and then all of a sudden all the female artists sing like Adele. If this does well, then maybe there’s a chance of a shift toward less processed music. Just to be able to hear their actual vocals, without all kinds of autotune, would be an improvement. Or this could be a total one-off, which also happens. But a girl can hope.

Adele's big breakthrough was earlier in the decade (it kept both Van Halen and The Beach Boys from having #1 albums in 2012), but the big female artists since then have been the likes of Ariana Grande, Billy Eilish, and the unfortunate transformation of Taylor Swift into a pop tart.
