18 Jun
Summary
- Kim Gordon performed her song 'Play Me' on The Tonight Show.
- Her album 'Play Me' was influenced by current events and 'post-empire' feelings.
- Gordon is currently touring the U.S. in support of her latest album.
Musician Kim Gordon made an appearance on The Tonight Show to perform "Play Me," a track from her recent solo album. Dressed in a Knicks jersey, Gordon and her band showcased the blues-influenced rock song.
Released in March, "Play Me" marks Gordon's third solo effort and reunited her with producer Justin Raisen. Gordon aimed for this album to be more beat-oriented than her previous work.
Gordon shared that news and a sense of living in a "post-empire" period were significant lyrical inspirations. She finds her vocal style, which she describes as not conventionally singer-like, most natural when focused on rhythm and beats.
She elaborated that her current music is a personal artistic expression, not aiming for external validation. Gordon is actively touring in support of "Play Me," with performances scheduled across the U.S. throughout the summer, including an appearance at Milwaukee's Summerfest in June.
