Yes! Kim has so far released two long-player projects, both in 2019.Ĭlarity is her LP debut proper, an eclectic mix of various different pop stylings from The Weeknd influenced electro-pop (Icy) to vibrant disco (Sweet Spot) and Daft Punk-esque French house (Personal Hell). Has Kim Petras got any albums I should listen to? The viral success of I Don't Want It At All lead to the release of several 'droplet' singles that all adhere to a very specific kind of sonic aesthetic soaked in Y2K and dance-pop era bop, harkening back to the halcyon days of 2010 - 2012. She first gained notice with the track I Don't Want It All - a bubblegum pop track that gained a notable fan in Paris Hilton, who guest-starred in the track's music video. Kim first started properly releasing music in 2017, under her independent label, BunHead Records. When did Kim Petras start releasing music? She technically makes more commercial music than her peers that include Arca, the late, great SOPHIE and recent alt-pop breakthrough Ethel Cain, and her ambitions to become A Big Pop Girl have always been clear. Kim Petras is a Germany-born pop singer, now based in LA and signed to Republic Records, after previously releasing music through her own independent imprint, BunHead Records.īorn in 1992, Kim came to prominence towards the end of the 2010s with bright, candy-coloured pop music that soon caught the ear of many a pop fan, as well as a headline-grabbing verse on a Charli XCX song, Unlock It.Ī cheery recurrence in each of Kim's song is the refrain 'whoo! ahh!', a bit like when RedOne used to shout himself out on the bangers he produced for Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez back in the day.Īs one of the only visible trans artists making mainstream pop moments, Kim was one of the figureheads of a movement towards the end of the last decade that saw a cacophony of queer artists - such as Troye Sivan, Hayley Kiyoko and Lil Nas X - infiltrate the mainstream.Īs a trans pop star, Kim's the importance of her emergence cannot be overstated. But to the average listener, pop's best kept secret over the last few years is finally making her big, commercial breakthrough with her collaboration with Sam Smith, Unholy.Īs Unholy looks towards becoming the highest new entry in this week's Official Singles Chart - perhaps even offering up a challenge to David Guetta & Bebe Rexha at Number 1 with I'm Good (Blue) - we thought it was high time to take a deep dive into Kim's career so far, to discover why she's been on the radar for a hot minute. If you run in certain pop circles (Gay Twitter) you've likely been aware of Kim Petras for a long time.
