1. Singer from Switzerland.
2. Croat… Read Full Bio ↴Kisha stands for three things:
1. Singer from Switzerland.
2. Croatian electro/indie/ethno outfit, founded in 1999 in Makarska, Croatia. (Kisha - Croatian for Rain)
3. Finnish pop group, founded in 2006.
------------------------------------
1. Seeing Kisha in her Hippie outfit with her sun-bleached hair and eyes as green as the sea, you'd think she just came back from a drive through the Californian desert - actually, Kisha comes from Switzerland.
Equally deceptive is her seemingly shy manner when, in fact, she's very self-confident and full of energy. However, she finds it easier to express her feelings through her singing - "Music gives me the opportunity to express what I really feel" - so in her single, 'Why ? (I'm Too Shy)' she recounts a missed opportunity of a few years ago which she vows will never happen again.
Kisha's enormous potential was spotted two years ago by Berlin music publisher, Diana Music & Vision while she was working part-time in a packing factory to finance her singing lessons. Kisha began recording a few songs with the producers of Toneteam and began to develop her own style in the process.
Her debut single, Why ?, was released in June 1998 and this will be followed by a twelve-track album in the Autumn. "I still can't believe this is all happening to me. I've always had problems opening my mouth and saying exactly what I want but I've finally found the courage to do so," Kisha explains enthusiastically, adding, "To me, making music means living. Music offers me the chance to conquer my inner conflicts and express how I really feel."
It is fascinating to hear Kisha, whose powerful voice belies her tiny frame. Guitars, upbeat rhythms and a haunting melody make 'Why ?' a surefire hit and the ideal way to launch Kisha onto the pop stage, where she is destined to win many fans. Her shyness gives her a unique presence and, unlike so many other pop artists, she radiates authenticity but it is tremendous determination that's going to put her where she's always dreamed of being - and that's at the top.

Kisha Lyrics

When Time Gets Near To Me
To Show My Love
The Longer I Stayed Away
Forhiding From A World
I Need To Hear Now
Don't Think I'll Heart It Again
Holding You Right By My Side
Right By My Side
But The Morning Always Comes Too Soon
Bevore I Even Close My Eyes
Chorus
All I Do Each Night Is Pray
Hoping That I'llbe
A Part Of You Again Some Day
All I Do Each Night Is Think
Of The Time Closed The Door
To Keep My Love Within
If You Can't Forget
The Past
I'll Understand That
Can't Understand
Why I Dit This To You
And All Of The Days And The Nights
Okay I'll Regred It
I Never Showed You My Love
But The Nights Were Always Warm With You
Holding You Right By My Side
But The Morning Morning Always Come Too Soon
Bevore I Even Close My Eyes
Chorus
Surely We Must Be In Sight
Of The Dream We Long To Live
If You Stop And Close Your Eyes
You'll Picture Me Inside
I'm So Cold And All Alone
Straight On Back To Me
Repeat Chorus

Fun fact: this is not a set; it was filmed at a real place that actually looks like this (including the part with all the TVs and the mountain that says “God is love”)
It is a radical anarchist collective in the desert of California. Kind of like if Burning Man were permanent and an actual functioning city
Kesha has gotten pretty political since she escaped her contract with Dr Luke and can now have creative control over her music. Just look at her other song, Rich White Straight Men
The choice of this place to shoot her video wasn’t arbitrary as she views Dr Luke as one of said “rich white straight men” who rule (and ruin) the world, so Praying too ties into her politics
But also what I am really impressed by is that technically when Praying was produced she hadn’t won her case against him yet. So this song easily could’ve ruined her career. It is obviously about Dr Luke abusing her and her livelihood still depended on him. He could’ve gotten pissed and retaliated, and he tried to
Instead the song became a massive hit, she won her case, and was able to get offers from other labels that have her more creative control. And now the world knows about how much of a dick Dr Luke is
But Kesha was incredibly brave for coming out with this song when she did. She knew it could end her career and even put her in physical danger and she did it anyway. I see so many survivors in these comments finding inspiration from her. We should all be grateful for her bravery and sheer badassery
