Kim Petras unveils tracklist for debut album ‘Feed The Beast’

Kim Petras has revealed the tracklist, artwork, and release date for her upcoming debut album, ‘Feed The Beast’.

The dancepop newcomer’s last full-length release was the 2019 mixtape, ‘Clarity’. In a four-star review, NME said the record is “complex”, and “boastful” without being “one-note”, concluding “the German singer-songwriter already sounds like a legit pop star.”

Now, Petras has shared the artwork and tracklist for ‘Feed The Beast’ – featuring the already-released singles, ‘Brrr’, ‘Unholy’ with Sam Smith and ‘Alone’ with Nicki Minaj. The alt-pop star BANKS also has an appearance on the record.

Her debut album was originally dubbed ‘Problématique’ and was first confirmed in 2021. The record’s lead single, ‘Future Starts Now’, was released in August 27 after being teased at Chicago’s Lollapalooza. In December, she released ‘Problématique’s second single, ‘Coconuts’.

In 2022, Petras ultimately announced the album was “scrapped” following songs from her major-label debut being leaked.

“I know for the fans, it was very hard to see a whole album go away — for me, too,” Petras said whilst speaking to Billboard in 2022, “That original album got me through the pandemic.”
