SLAYYYTER RELEASES NEW SINGLE “CRANK”

Cult-favorite pop disruptor SLAYYYTER unveils new single “CRANK”, produced by Austin Corona and Wyatt Bernard. The powerful, distortion-soaked dance track is out everywhere now via RECORDS / Columbia Records. “CRANK” is accompanied by an official music video directed by SLAYYYTER. 

With “CRANK”, SLAYYYTER unleashes a confident, electrifying dance anthem that thrives on distortion and delirium. Projecting through waves of fuzz and adrenaline-fueled one-liners, the track rejects pop convention in favor of raw, unfiltered energy. Embracing freedom over precision, SLAYYYTER transforms chaos into something anthemic, channeling the manic thrill of the dancefloor at its most unhinged. The accompanying music video, directed by SLAYYYTER, extends her universe of twisted glamor, blending the surreal grit of “BEAT UP CHANEL$” and “CANNIBALISM!” with a backwoods, dreamlike chaos. Infused with the distorted Americana of her Midwestern roots, “CRANK” captures a feverish world where nostalgia, danger, and fantasy collide.

Of the new song, SLAYYYTER shares, “I MADE CRANK WITH AUSTIN AND WYATT IN NEW YORK CITY. IT’S CONFIDENT, TWEAKERY AND ANTHEMIC. IN POP AND DANCE MUSIC I FEEL LIKE THERE IS AN EXPECTATION FOR SONGS TO HAVE SOARING VOCAL MELODIES OR REALLY PIN POINTED LYRICAL CONCEPTS. WHILE MAKING THIS RECORD IT FELT VERY FREEING TO SCREAM ABOUT NONSENSE WITH DISTORTION ON THE MIC. SOME OF MY FAVORITE ONE LINERS I HAVE EVER WRITTEN LIVE ON THIS SONG. CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL, IT’S ALL DANCE…”

Of the official music video, SLAYYYYTER shares, “I WANTED THIS VIDEO TO LIVE IN THE SAME WORLD AS BEAT UP CHANEL$ AND CANNIBALISM! BUT FEEL MORE BACKWOODS AND CHAOTIC AT ITS’ CORE. I FELT VERY INSPIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD AND MIDWESTERN UPBRINGING WHILE MAKING THIS ALBUM, AND DISTORTING IT INTO SOMETHING UNSETTLING AND DREAM-LIKE. RABBIT HUNTING SEASON!”
