Kesha & Zedd Share 'True Colors' Release Date, Cover Art

Billboard.com reports that Zedd and Kesha posted an image from a recording session announcing that their "True Colors" collaboration will officially drop Friday, April 29.

"It's a miracle when someone gives you a chance at finding your voice again," Kesha wrote next to a black and white photo in which she's singing during a session. She then thanked Zedd for being a "f---ing beautiful person with a heart of gold."

It was unclear at press time what project the two were working on, but the session comes amid Kesha's ongoing lawsuit against former mentor/producer and alleged abuser Dr. Luke, in which she is attempting to get free of her contract with Luke and record with other producers. Earlier this month Kesha said she rejected an alleged settlement offer in the case, saying "I will not take back the truth." At the time, a representative for Luke told Billboard that the court has repeatedly told the 29-year-old singer she is free to record without Luke.

The Coachella performance marked the first time Kesha had performed in public since a judge denied her request in February for a preliminary injunction that would allow her to record outside of Luke's purview. It's unknown if the Zedd session is the first time she's recorded new music in the midst of the ongoing legal battle with Luke.

Kesha is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. In 2005, at age 18, Kesha was signed to producer Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records. Her breakthrough came in early 2009 after appearing on rapper Flo Rida's number-one single "Right Round". Her debut album, Animal, and her first extended play, Cannibal, were released in 2010. Kesha's music and image propelled her to immediate commercial success, with Animal debuting as the number-one album in the United States. She also achieved two number-one singles, "Tik Tok" and "We R Who We R", and a string of top-ten singles from the album and its re-release. At the same time, she continued to write songs for other artists, including "Till the World Ends" for Britney Spears. Warrior, her second studio album, was released in December 2012, spawning Kesha's eighth top-ten single with "Die Young". "Tik Tok" is among the best-selling digital singles in history, selling over 14 million units internationally.
