Kim Gordon has announced a new album PLAY ME, which will be out March 13 via Matador Records. Like on 2024’s great The Collective, she worked with producer Justin Raisen, but this is not a sequel. “We wanted the songs to be short,” Gordon says. “We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused, and maybe more confident. I always kind of work off of rhythms, and I knew I wanted it to be even more beat-oriented than the last one. Justin really gets my voice and my lyrics and he understands how I work—that came forth even more on this record.”
The first single off the album is the atmospheric, driving “NOT TODAY,” which is also focused on melody. “I started singing in a way I hadn’t sung in a long time,” she says. “This other voice came out.” You can watch the video, directed by Rodarte fashion label founders and filmmakers Kate and Laura Mulleavy, below.
