In 2022, Kim Petras confronted one thing each artist dreads: a collection of leaks that left her album in jeopardy. “I am devastated idk how all of this occurred and I simply wanna give up,” Petras tweeted on the time, Billboard reported. Almost a 12 months later, “Feed the Beast” is coming. The truth is, Petras’s first major-label album is simply 10 days away.
“It is actually like three albums mixed,” Petras tells POPSUGAR in a June interview whereas discussing her partnership with the Motorola Razr+. “Somebody leaked [my previous album], in order that was annoying.” From the ashes got here inspiration, although. Petras’s A&R consultant helped her transfer by means of the “annoying” scenario, she recounts, advising her, “‘You gotta go feed the beast and make extra music. Do what you do finest.’ And that is precisely what I did.”
The setback turned out to be price it. “I really feel like I actually took that point — which is time I’d’ve by no means taken — to actually prime [the album] off and ensure it is the perfect it could probably be,” Petras says. “And now it actually looks like a cohesive album. I am pleased with the message of it, which is simply to go for it and do what you are most frightened of.”
What’s Petras most frightened of? Properly, on this occasion, it is the transition from quirkier information (See: 2021’s “Coconuts”) to extra mainstream releases. “I at all times needed to go full out and I lastly dared to, and although that is scary . . . I believe there isn’t any means of rising in the event you’re not doing what you are most frightened of.”
“Feed the Beast” options 14 tracks and a bonus track (her Grammy-award-winning collab with Sam Smith, “Unholy”) and pairs Petras with “lots of people I’ve dreamt about working with,” together with producers Max Martin and Ian Kirkpatrick.
Petras simply identifies a favourite monitor from the album: “Claws.” The track, she says, tells a narrative she’s been “struggling to inform.” Recounts Petras, “And sooner or later I used to be within the studio and it simply all got here out inside 40 minutes and was this magical expertise, the place it actually felt full circle.”
