While Kesha did not get the justice she deserved in her lawsuit against producer and alleged rapist Dr Luke, post-suit dismissal has been a much better look for her. She made a surprise appearance at Coachella with Zedd where she made everyone cry. Now… the duo’s collaboration, “True Colors,” has been released. But it wasn’t a slight to Sony or Luke’s Kemosabe Records. The German electronic superstar released a statement, probably at the behest of Sony executives saving face, saying that the two performers got permission to release the song:
Just to clarify:
We didn't use any loop holes. Kemosabe / RCA gave us permission to release this song!— Zedd (@Zedd) April 27, 2016
Kesha, on the other hand, stuck to her brand and tried to save her own face with dignity. Sharing a teaser for the music video, also via Twitter, the singer held up her proverbial middle finger to her abuser:
this is more than a song. it's a declaration of my truth #truecolors

F**k you, Dr. Luke… even if you’re about to make a whole bunch of money off of this.
