SLAYYYTER RELEASES NEW ALBUM WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA; WOR$T GIRL IN THE WORLD TOUR SOLD OUT
cult-favorite pop disruptor SLAYYYTER releases her highly-anticipated third album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA out everywhere now via RECORDS / Columbia Records. The project is a visual album, pairing each track with immersive, cinematic imagery that expands and deepens SLAYYYTER’s vision beyond the music itself.
SLAYYYTER began concocting her next chapter in earnest: one more authentically her, equal parts defiant and introspective. She began thinking about her St. Louis roots, which in turn made her revisit the formative sounds of her teen years. WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA is both revelation and evolution, an end destination SLAYYYTER could only reach by going full circle.
“This music was made from a very pure place, chasing songs I wanted to listen to over and over after the studio,” SLAYYYTER says. “By approaching it that way, I rediscovered how much I love making music. The prompt wasn’t thinking about hits, or algorithm music. I began asking myself: If I died tomorrow and had one last thing to contribute, what would it sound like?”
“SLAYYYTER began as an alter-ego but is almost more like a nickname now,” she continues. “There’s less persona and fantasy. That’s not me. Jean shorts, Budweiser, wearing grills — that is me.”
WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA opens with a patient, tension-building curtain rise. “DANCE…” was one of the early tracks SLAYYYTER finished for the album, and lived as a reference point for the rest of the album with Billboard calling it, “dancefloor siren call.” From its slowly intensifying dancefloor pulse, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA goes for the throat. “BEAT UP CHANEL$” establishes the sonic and thematic scope of the album: aggressive verses, an emotive turn in the chorus, a poor kid partying in suburban motels after hours while dreaming of her own twisted version of success. Other early singles carried that energy forward, with the snarling punk of “CANNIBALISM!” or the caustic rap of “CRANK” showing all the sides the worst girl in America has to offer. SLAYYYTER even makes room for some of her most vulnerable songs, like the lovelorn synth-pop of “GAS STATION” and “UNKNOWN LOVERZ.”
WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA concludes with a one-two that peels everything back. With the interlude of “PRAYER” and the climactic finale of “BRITTANY MURPHY,” SLAYYYTER lets defeat and depression and hope and humor mingle freely. The song ends up being the skeleton key for the album, explaining everything you just heard and how we got here. Yet from the lowest of lows, and after a long journey through all her life’s angst, SLAYYYTER finds a new way to embrace the realities of life and death.
