Anyone who follows Kim Petras on social media would have noticed this past week from the pop princess an aesthetic shift away from the French icon of “Future Starts Now” and the colorful character from “Coconuts” to something more…slutty. This new look includes heavy, dark eye makeup, sparkled bras, and usually, a mini-skirt— the air is thick with Y2K. Dutiful fans quickly realized that this trend could only mean one thing: new music.
As a little Valentine’s gift to her fans to show how much she loves them, today, Petras dropped a new sex-positive EP, Slut Pop. The EP consists of 7 songs, all with to-the-point titles such as the focus track “Treat Me Like a Slut,” and also “XXX,” and “Throat Goat.” For the EP’s inspiration, Petras turned to the sex-worker community and the prejudices they face. Petras wants no one to be ashamed of their sexuality and with these seven tracks, she confirms her own sexuality as a woman. In many ways, the EP encourages self-love through one’s unabashed love for others; it’s a perfect reminder just in time for Valentine’s Day to love yourself and your desires.
Slut Pop is nothing but a success. The songs are smooth, energetic, and, most importantly, unashamed. Petras is the princess of pop for a reason; she possesses an ear for what makes good pop music and sings with such nuance and just the right amount of sincerity, no matter the subject matter, which elevates her music from just another slew of pop songs to a series of unmissable hits.
The release of Slut Pop exists separately from Petras’ upcoming album which includes the released aforementioned singles “Future Starts Now” and “Coconuts.”
