October is just not complete without our queen Kim Petras. Way back in 2017 — yeah, almost a damn decade ago — we first hyped the alt-pop superstar as part of our V:Music series, and we’ve followed her glittery ascent ever since, from macabre Halloween bops to full-on global stardom. While Petras now dazzles year-round, it’s Spooky Szn where she truly shines, illuminating 2019 horror mixtape and V forever fave TURN OFF THE LIGHT as one of our most essential autumn listens.
We bring all that up because a) it’s October, honey; and b) we’re catching the same strobe-lit dance floor vibe off banger new single “I Like Ur Look,” which slings all the razor sharp blog house beats and sultry aughts-era treats without the haunted house setting, instead focusing on the scariest feeling of all: Human attraction.
The playful and seductive track should be enough to get us to Hoe-vember, as it finds Petras in tiger mode, luring us in with some sultry lyrical bait: “I wear my patent leather boots / I know that I’ll run into you / I wear my blush ’cause I’m a doll / And then I tease my hair all tall, baby.” What follows is an anthemic chorus that’s got us higher than a rooftop orgy.
“I Like Ur Look” dropped yesterday (October 14), and it’s the third single from Petras’ forthcoming album. We kinda can’t wait. This ripe belter was co-produced by Petras, Nightfeelings, Margo XS, Frost Children and written by Petras, Reade Wildman, Madison Love, Angel Prost, Lulu Prost, and Nick Weiss.
