Slut Pop is the third extended play (EP) by German singer Kim Petras. It was released on 11 February 2022 through Amigo Records and Republic. [2]
"People don’t take people seriously — women, especially — who sing slutty songs or songs about sex, and write it off as not being important. I think that’s so stupid… I fully believe that takes as much skill as writing any other kind of song. And so I was like, “You know what? I make slut pop. And I’m proud of that. And you can suck it if you don’t take me seriously. I don’t care."
Kim Petras signed to Republic Records in 2021 and then started to work on new music for her major label debut studio album, as well other musical projects. [4] About the new songs, Petras stated that she explored sexual themes, getting inspired by other artists, citing Britney Spears as an example. [5] The EP process was completed in two months, [6] and the track listing was put together when the singer realized that she had enough songs about the same theme to put on a whole project on its own. [7] [8] The album cover was shot by Devin Kasparian. [9]
A dance-pop EP [10] with influences of tech house and electropop, Slut Pop was described as an "X-rated" album about "slutty, sexual fantasies". [11] According to PopCrush , it features "throbbing beats, dirty lyrics and sex-positive anthems inspired by the sex workers community". [12]
In the weeks leading up to Slut Pop's release, Petras posted videos teasing its songs on social media, as well stills from a new photoshoot done for the project. [13] To promote the EP, Petras realized a club crawl branded as Slut Tour, during which she performed at multiple nightclubs in one night. [14]
On January 7 2024, a vinyl release of the EP was made available for pre-order. The record was sold out in under a few hours. [15]
On January 22 2024, Petras announced on Instagram the official vinyl release of Slut Pop.
The project received a mixed reception. While some critics praised the EP's sex-positive nature, [16] [17] [18] others criticized Petras' association with producer Dr. Luke, who produced the entirety of the EP. [19] [20]
