Singer-songwriter Slayyyter, originally from Missouri and now based in New York, is drawing attention for her unique style that fuses 2000s glamour-pop with club culture.

In August 2025, she announced a deal with major label Columbia Records, and in October she dropped a new track on the label marked by industrial noise and a distorted bass.

Produced by Austin Corona and Wyatt Bernard, the industrial hip-hop track delivers a high-density club sound where razor-sharp synths intertwine with bouncy kicks.

In the self-directed music video, she maintains a DIY ethos while crafting an aggressive visual aesthetic through angular editing and industrial lighting.

Ironically portraying hedonistic themes, the song is a perfect fit for rave and club play.
