In preparation for her major label debut, Feed The Beast, dropping later this month, Vulture\u2019s Jason P. Frank joins Pop Pantheon to discuss a star who is perhaps the first out trans woman to be in the running as a mainstream pop aspirant, Kim Petras. Jason and Louie\u2019s conversation, which kicks off Pop Pantheon\u2019s Pride series, covers Kim\u2019s career, her early attempts to break into the music business, her controversial partnership with the producer Dr. Luke, her cavalcade of sugar bomb singles known as "era1," 2018 and 2019 Halloween mixtape series Turn off the Light and debut album, 2019\u2019s Clarity. Finally, they discuss her major label era, the breakout success of \u201cUnholy\u201d, their hopes for Feed the Beast, and place Kim Petras in the official Pop Pantheon.
Stay tuned this June for more Pride episodes.
