Slut Pop Miami is the fourth extended play [2] [3] by German singer Kim Petras. It was released on 14 February 2024 through Amigo and Republic Records. [4] [5] It serves as a sequel to her 2022 EP Slut Pop . [6]

Contents

"Slut Pop Miami" received mixed reviews; while some praised its bold, outrageous themes and the sex-positive direction of the project, others criticized its repetitive nature and felt it lacked the original album's spark.

Background and release

Petras released Slut Pop on 11 February 2022, a dance-pop EP with overtly sex-positive lyricism. [7] Petras began to tease Miami-inspired visuals reminiscent of the 2002 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and announced the title of the sequel project on 7 February 2024. [8]

Composition

The EP has twelve tracks. [2] [9] Billboard has called the collection a "sex positive lust bomb". [10] Bernardo Sim of Out wrote, "This project also provides campy commentary on the extremely hyper-sexualized state of LGBTQ+ culture, for all the good and bad parts that exist within it." [11] In an interview with American actress Carmen Electra, Petras shared that house music influenced the EP, and shared that the lyrics were inspired by her experiences on vacation in Miami. [12]

Reception

Clash rated the EP 7 out of 10, with Robin Murray writing "Slut Pop Miami grinds down on its theme, refusing to avoid your awkward glances. Blistering neon-tinted pop with some aspects of hip-hop swagger to the production, the track titles alone could make you blush." [3] Vulture gave the EP a negative review that criticized the decision of Petras to make a sequel to the original Slut Pop, with Reanna Cruz writing "Slut Pop Miami replaces that rapturous lust [of Slut Pop] for mechanical routine." [13]
