Slayyyter

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Slayyyter. After years of building a fanbase from scratch, Slayyyter’s new album, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, feels like her breakout. The record lives in the same vein as Lady Gaga, Metro Station, and Marina and the Diamonds, reflecting a desire to be “nostalgic but also take it to a place that reminded me of the punk music my skater friends would show me when I was in St. Louis or seeing a Lana Del Rey GIF for the first time on Tumblr.” Before its release, the pop artist stopped by the Artist Friendly studio. Sitting across from Madden, she dives into growing up in St. Louis, staying DIY on a major label, and what it took to finally feel confident in her art. ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!
