Kim Petras Demands Release from Republic Records
21 Jan
Summary
- Singer claims label stalled her album release for six months.
- Petras alleges label refused to pay collaborators for their work.
- She wants to self-fund and self-curate future music projects.
Kim Petras has publicly voiced her frustration with her current label, Republic Records, expressing a strong desire to be released. The singer stated on social media that her album, 'Detour,' has been completed for six months, but the label has not provided a release date. She also claimed that collaborators have not been paid for their contributions.
Petras further alleged that the label has stalled the release of her next single and its accompanying music video, which she self-funded. She expressed a wish to return to self-funding and self-curating her music, stating her intention to release 'Detour' for her fans, who she says have waited long enough.
This situation follows Petras's Grammy win for her collaboration with Sam Smith on 'Unholy' two years prior. She expressed disappointment in the perceived lack of label support for her music unless it aligns with TikTok trends or 'queerbaiting' aesthetics. Republic Records has not yet responded to requests for comment.
