Contents

Background

On November 10, 2022, the album was released in the format of a vinyl LP. [6] The two EPs and album received mainly positive reviews. [7] [8] [9] [10]

Inside Voices / Outside Voices spawned a thirteen-stop tour entitled The Inside Voices / Outside Voices Tour, which lasted from February 10, 2022, to April 9. [11] In addition, a second month-long tour was announced, entitled K.Flay: Fall Tour, but it was cancelled due to her then-recent diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss and labyrinthitis. [12] [13]

Concept and themes

In an interview with Alternative Press , repeated in The Stanford Daily , K.Flay explained that Inside Voices represents the id, while Outside Voices represents the ego, and that her thought process was "can I put together two bodies of work that represent these disparate parts of our psyche?" [14]

This major stylistic choice is represented in the album sleeve and promotional artwork for the singles, which feature two distinct cartoon characters. The former is a screaming goblin-like creature with red hair [15] to represent the id; the latter, the ego, is represented by a goth trapped in a glass box.
