“Resentment” by Kesha (ft. Sturgill Simpson, Brian Wilson & Wrabel)

In “Resentment”, Kesha portrays the role of a lady who has suffered abuse from her lover but never reacted to such. And accordingly she has built up a considerable degree of “resentment”. However, this track represents the boiling point when she has finally developed the resolve to not only speak out but also appears as if she is on the verge of dumping this dude.

Indeed the singer finds herself in a situation where she’s “been talking to strangers” concerning her personal issues as the bond between she and her lover is by and large broken. And once again, the implication is that such an unfavorable disposition towards him is a product of his own doing. In fact at the current moment, Kesha’s feelings for him have transcended the realm of hate. But it does not seem she has actually dumped him (yet) but rather appears to be giving him an ultimatum to shape up or ship out.

Facts about “Resentment”

Kemosabe Records and RCA Records released this song as the third single from Kesha’s forthcoming “High Road” album on 12 December 2019.

This track marks the first time Kesha has teamed up with Sturgill Simpson, Brian Wilson (of Beach Boys’ fame) or Wrabel, with her expressing appreciation for having the opportunity to work with these artists. And it should be noted that Wrabel is also featured on another song on her “High Road” album.

Wrabel also helped Kesha write “Resentment” along with Madi Diaz and Jamie Floyd.

And the song was produced by John Hill.

Kesha filmed the official music video to “Resentment” herself, in fact using her own iPhone, modified with a VHS filter to give the visual more of an authentic feel.
