NEW MUSIC: KIM PETRAS | COCONUTS

After performing new bops "Coconuts" and "Hit It From The Back" at the EMAs earlier this month, Kim Petras has officially released the song "Coconuts" as she shared the news by flashing her titular coconuts on TikTok earlier this week. Speaking about her upcoming debut, “I love writing fucked up, dirty stuff, so there’s a lot of slut on it. The Britney thing reminded me of how, if a girl writes songs about sex, it’s not art, and it’s not important, and it’s not winning GRAMMYs. But the shit that ‘Gimme More’ meant to me when I was a teenager and how it made me feel? I was dancing in my room; I put on my clip-in extensions and wore them around all day. It brought me so much joy, and no one can tell me that’s not important music, you know?” “This time, I’m not insecure in myself,” she continued. “I’m not like, ‘Am I pretty enough to make a slutty song like that?’, I don’t think that anymore, and that’s very freeing. I loved crazy music growing up, and I’m going to make crazy music and not be afraid of it. For me, it’s a confident record because I was like, I’m just going to do whatever the f*ck I want.” German pop star Kim Petras has a massive following amongst LGBTQ+ people and big pop music fanatics. Petras, trans, first came to recognition in 2008 when she became the youngest person ever to undergo gender reassignment surgery. Fast forward to 2017, and she started releasing huge pop singles and working with Charli XCX and Paris Hilton.
