Kim Petras – Freak It
New sounds from Kim Petras, she describes this as a song to lose your mind to while out clubbing. Her third album is coming soon.
“Freak It was supposed to be the last track on the album and that was that. Then I started playing it live and the fans went insane.
“At some point, I just had to give in. I wrote and produced it with my friends, which made it even more fun to finally put out. I miss the chaos and joy of artists like LMFAO and Avicii, and honestly, I just want to lose my mind at clubs this summer listening to this song. The fans yelling at me to release it basically did me a favor. God was definitely in the studio that day.” Petras said.
Grant Knoche – Woohoo
Grant Knoche got his start on kids TV appearing on Brat TV’s Chicken Girls, Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dwan and as part of tween band Kidz Bop. Now he’s all grown up, he came out as bisexual in 2002, and he’s pumping out the dance jams.
Ruel – I Can Die Now
Australian pop prodigy Ruel returns with a new high-energy slam of pop, the first single from his upcoming sophomore album.
“First single I’ve put out in almost a year and first part of this new eraaaa,” Ruel wrote on Instagram. “All this has been a looong time coming so over the moon to get this out in the world.”
