Kim Petras unveiled her brand new single “Malibu” – a vivid blare of refined pop bliss. The new track is a sparkling, summery bop with instrumental components and fresh vocals, inspired by the silver screen, Baywatch fantasy Malibu. The dreamy pop song was paired with a vibrant and quirky, animated visual. It advertises a tanning lotion for a journey to the moon. The visual brings more life to the already animate song.
“‘Malibu’ is a return to color, the feeling of being in love, and the escapism pop that I love the most,” says Kim Petras about “Malibu.” “After Clarity, I had cried all my tears and moved on, so this is a reflection of how I’ve been feeling. I just want “Malibu” to be a fizzy, refreshing drink that comes to you during this quarantine and makes you forget all your anxieties. I hope this can be a little vitamin shot that brightens your day.”
“Malibu” follows Petras’ break-up anthem “Reminds Me,” and is the next in line of her unquestionable singles which have garnered over 320 million streams globally, and they include “Icy,” “Heart to Break,” “Sweet Spot,” “Close Your Eyes,” “Broken,” “Hillside Boys,” and “I Don’t Want It At All.” “Malibu” also follows her critically-acclaimed, 12-track project Clarity which dominated Spotify’s New Music Friday and Apple Music’s Best of The Week for ten consecutive weeks.
Kim recently performed as part of The Stonewall Inn Gives Back – A Livestream Fundraising Concert for the LGBTQ+ Nightlife Industry alongside Cyndi Lauper, Kristin Chenoweth, Troye Sivan, Rufus Wainwright, Betty Who, Allie X, Alan Cumming, and more. Kim performed a cover of Paris Hilton’s single “Stars Are Blind” Kim also recently received a GLAAD Outstanding Music Artist award nomination for Clarity after being nominated last year for Turn Off The Light, Vol. 1.
