Two days before releasing her brand new album Feed The Beast, Kim Petras has unleashed the dates for the upcoming tour.
In my opinion the new Kim Petras album is a bop from beginning to end, and definitely an album I would put out if I was making music. Standouts for me so far are Feed The Beast, King of Hearts, Bait, Sex Talk, Claws, Coconuts and Hit It From The Back.
It also features hits Unholy with Sam Smith, and Alone with Nicki Minaj.
On Feed The Beast, Kim collaborated with producers and songwriters such as Dr. Luke, The Monsters & Strangerz, Cirkut, Ian Kirkpatrick, and more, and every song on the album seems custom made to be a single.
Kim definitely has a great ear for song and melodies, and it definitely feels like she's perfectly followed Madonna's blueprint in regards to carving out a good pop earworm.
My only issue is the same issue I’ve had with a lot of these artists releasing music as of late. Why is every goddamn song under three minutes? And while I love the track BAIT she has with BANKS, it sounds more like a BANKS song with Petras basically singing background. I would have also liked for Kim to push herself more lyrically, because while the songs are good, it felt at times like she was playing it safe so that she could get those big corpoorate Spotify streams.
Maybe it's just me, but as a queer artist I always expect musicians or people in the industry to push the boundaries of artistic expression musically, lyrically and visually.
I also hope that she didn't neuter her personality and artistic expression in exchange for mainstream success, because the thing people love about Kim is her personality.
Maybe we'll get more of Kim's personality on the tour, and hopefully she'll push herself even further lyrically and sonically on her next album.
Other than that Feed The Beast is a solid album that will satisfy pop fans, and the gays alike.
