Kesha’s legal battle with producer Dr. Luke may prevent her from recording new songs with anyone else, but the singer is still making music. Just before Christmas, she performed at Nashville’s Springwater Supper Club & Lounge with her new band, Yeast Infection, reports E! Online, sharing the experience and her love with fans.

The surprise concert took place despite the ongoing legal dispute, with the singer seeking to void her original contracts with the producer. Their dispute, which is now over a year old, includes allegations by Kesha that she was drugged and raped by Dr. Luke, according to THR. The producer has filed claims as well, asserting that Kesha is trying to extort him.

Although the fight hasn’t ended, it’s clear that Kesha doesn’t plan to put her career on hold any longer. At the concert with the defiantly named band, Yeast Infection, they performed a cover of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love, as well as new versions of her songs Blow and Timber. She introduced the band via social media, tweeting their name and photo on Christmas Eve, as well as sharing photos and video from the performance.

The singer made it clear — both onstage and via social media — that her fans had her love and gratitude for their support, writing on Instagram, “merry Christmas animals! I’m so grateful for u!!” She also referenced her contract problems, adding, “no matter what, no one will ever stop me from making noise. never let anyone take ur happiness. that’s the only way they beat u. never let them win.”

While it would be ideal for fans if Kesha could record new music again, it’s at least nice to have reassurance that she doesn’t plan to stop sharing her work, no matter how her contract battle shakes out.

What is spatial audio? The 3D sound experience fully explained
Person listening to spatial audio using Apple AirPods Max headphones.

Since Apple added “spatial audio” to the Apple Music streaming service and the AirPods family of wireless earbuds and headphones in 2021, it feels like you can’t read about new audio products or services without running into that term. And just a few short years later, it’s seemingly everywhere.

This has led to a lot of misconceptions about what spatial audio is, how it works, and why you need to hear it for yourself. People often ask, “If Apple created spatial audio, why are other companies claiming they do it, too?” The answer is that Apple didn’t create it, and you certainly don’t need to own its products to experience spatial audio.

If you’re a huge music fan, you’ve probably combed through the many playlists, artists, and albums of your Spotify or Apple Music subscription. But what about all the indie artists of the world? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the
‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

Two kids using the Puro Sound PuroQuiet Plus to watch something on a tablet.

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.
