Kesha, Fine Line | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-nominated pop singer/songwriter Kesha drops the angry, emotional “Fine Line,” one of two promo singles from her fifth studio album, Gag Order. 

“There’s a fine line I’ve been walkin’ / And trying to balance is exhaustin’,” 🏆 Grammy-nominated pop singer/songwriter, 🎙 Kesha asserts in the first verse of 🎵 “Fine Line”. She continues singing, pissed off, “This is where you fuckers pushed me / Don’t be surprised if shit gets ugly.” Oh, snap 🫰, more like, oh, sh– 💩! “Fine Line” marks one of two promo singles from her fifth studio album, 💿 Gag Order (May 19, 2023). While 🎵 “Eat The Acid” may be the most innovative of the two, “Fine Line” is captivating too. Kesha produces alongside 🎛 Rick Rubin, Stuart Crichton, and Jason Lader.

Like 🎵 “Eat The Acid”, there are no drums on “Fine Line” – no beat supplying the groove.  No worries as the instrumental provides ample energy, fueling the singer’s fire.  Fiery she is, dropping profanity everywhere expressing her anger.  “All the doctors and lawyers cut the tongue outta my mouth,” she asserts in the pre-chorus, admitting, “I’ve been hidin’ my anger, but bitch, look at me now.” Clearly, “Fine Line” is Kesha’s reaction to the ongoing Dr. Luke lawsuit, and how it has affected her. “There’s a fine line between genius and crazy,” she asserts in the chorus, later adding, “Sick of walkin’ that fine line.” Furthermore, she’s “so goddamn sick of fightin’.” Incredibly emotional, “Fine Line” allows Kesha to get the anger, disappointment, and pain off her chest.  In this regard, art and music can be incredibly therapeutic. Furthermore, the artist’s pain is truly the listener’s pleasure on 🎵 “Fine Line”.
