Kim Petras surprise drops hotly anticipated album; “Feed the Beast”
GRAMMY winning international pop sensation and critically acclaimed songwriter Kim Petras has unexpectedly released her long-awaited album ‘Problematique’ as a surprise for her fans via Republic Records/ Amigo Records.
Previously shelved after partially leaking and leaving fans clamoring for more, ‘Problematique’ has been unearthed from the vault as 10 tracks of euphoric escapist pop inspired by French house music and Parisian soundscapes. Shimmering with magnetic, laissez-faire confidence and giving Kim even more new music to perform on her upcoming US/European tour. ‘Problematique’ features stand out track “Treat Me Like A Ho,” a bratty flex that brims with untouchable, sugar baby confidence. The album also features starry-eyed, funk banger “Born Again,” a defiant, self-assured burst of fun in title track “Problematique,” sultry, smooth bop “Deeper,” and “All She Wants” – a materialistic, tongue-in-cheek anthem featuring the iconic Paris Hilton.
Kim also recently shared reimagined, symphonic, 7-piece string ensemble performances of fan favorites from her acclaimed debut album Feed The Beast – a declaration about being willing to be consumed by pop music, her biggest passion in life, that was inspired by the euphoric Eurodance hits that she would lose herself in growing up.
The North American leg of Kim’s upcoming Feed The Beast Tour, produced by Live Nation, kicks off September 27 in Austin, TX, bringing her larger-than-life live show to major US cities coast to coast. Kim will then embark on a UK/European run of shows beginning February 13 in Birmingham. Having recently performed at festivals around the world including Governor’s Ball in NYC, Osheaga in Montreal, and The Town in São Paulo, Brazil, Kim is also slated to perform at Life is Beautiful in Las Vegas on September 24 and Corona Capital in Mexico City on November 18.
Kim is continuing a milestone year that has included winning her first (and LGBTQ history making) GRAMMY Award (for “Unholy”) alongside Sam Smith – who she just jumped on stage with at The Forum in Los Angeles for a surprise live performance – attending the Met Gala as a guest of Marc Jacobs, receiving the Billboard Women in Music Chartbreaker Award, and gracing the cover of the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
