Kim Petras released her fourth EP last Valentine's Day
Kim Petras released her latest album in September of last year when she dropped her French-pop album Problématique. The album was released via Amigo and Republic Records. This was the singer's second studio album. The 10-track album peaked at 8th position on the Billboard US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and received a 7/10 review on Clash.
According to Robin Murray from Clash, who called Petras a "pop trailblazer", the album was a "burst of sensual pop erotica" and a "rule-breaking burst of truth-saying". While complimenting the album for being extremely entertaining, Murray still stated that the album's "glossy thrill-seeking" was occasionally repetitive.
After Problématique, Petras released Slut Pop Miami on Valentine's Day 2024, her fourth EP, and a sequel to her 2022 EP, Slut Pop. The 12-track EP peaked at the 14th position in position in the Billboard US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and once again received a 7/10 rating on Clash.
