    This album is very boring and generic, no good songs here.
    I like meaningful and inspiring songs like the ones from Lana Del Rey's Lust for Life, sorry Kesha.

    I miss the fun kesha we came to love, and that's not to say her songs have always been meaningless "Dancing with Tears in my eyes" is a highlight of her career. But this is just garbage. If i wanna listen to music with substance this is too mediocre to affect you, Plenty of other other artists do this type of music much more genuine than this, it seems forced at times, I doubt I will everI miss the fun kesha we came to love, and that's not to say her songs have always been meaningless "Dancing with Tears in my eyes" is a highlight of her career.

    The album captures a mixture of genres that come together to create a really vulnerable and organic sound. Kesha uses Rainbow to let her listeners into her struggles, thoughts and true personality, something missing from her previous releases.

    Rainbow is a muddled hotch-potch that offers little beyond the fact it heralds her return. It's great to have Kesha back--it really is--but let's hope the quality improves in future.

    Throughout, on both killers and filler, the singer sounds like she’s having so much fun.
