Kim Gordon has announced a new album PLAY ME, which will be out March 13 via Matador Records. (Preorder on white vinyl.) 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.
