Kim Petras delivers her new album titled Clarity. Available for download and streaming, the 12-track collection includes all eight of the singles Petras has put out over the past few months, including her newest erotic pop ballad, “Personal Hell.”
The songs she’s released as a result of the experiences have been game changers on a more personal artistic level, allowing her to explore sounds outside of a traditional pop sphere. Tracks like “Got My Number,” “Sweet Spot,” and “Do Me” wowed fans everywhere and got them sufficiently excited to see her on her now sold-out Broken Tour.
“It’s important to me to be an artist first and to fight for transgender rights, but not have that be everything that defines me,” she said.
“It started out with the song ‘Broken,’ which is about me being heartbroken and going through a rough breakup and feeling really lost in life in general…not knowing what I was going to do next,” she said.
“I would go on stage every night and have the most amazing time and then I’d go home and feel really sad because my personal life was just like trash,” she said. “So I put it on to my music, and I kind of realized what’s important to me and…why I do this, because writing songs is like my kind of my therapy.”
The German-born singer first made headlines at 16 years old as one of the youngest people to undergo the gender confirmation process.
“Growing up I could never go to the concerts I wanted to go to because I didn’t have enough money. And I remember saving up for a Gaga Born This Way Ball, and, like, screaming every single word out and saving up for Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream Tour,” she said.
“All my worries were gone and…that’s what pop music to me is supposed to do. It’s just supposed to take you out of your life and your problems and just make you forget it and just have a good time for a second,” she said. “I just want to do that for…an hour-and-a-half and make people forget about the problems.”
