What are the inspirations behind it?
Slayyyter has offered some hints as to the influences behind WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA over on Tumblr. Responding to a fan about what inspired her shift in sound, she said:
ME. me as an artist. the sound is purely me. people are going to try to compare it to current artists which is soooOoooo annoying and annoys me already but micro trend terminology has no place here . this new music is truly the essence of me. soft and sweet, nasty and vicious, heavy and fast. im rapping im SPITTING im singing my heart out tapping into my full vocal range its real instruments its electronic its punk its indie electro its sad its funny its clever its dark its bitter. its when u put an ipod on shuffle and u hear a track by U2 then m.i.a then kid cudi back to back but they all feel sonically related. it’s the album i was born to make and took many years of sharpening my skills and gaining live music/stage experience to create.
She also opened up about some stylistic reference points, saying: “style inspo has been like two different sides, kind of like the music, boyish shit and streetwear, supreme, number (N)ine, old shredded up denim, sharpied ripped up t shirts, muddy boots, trucker hats, and then theres also this half of my style that is feminine and romantic, i have taken a lot of inspiration from pictures of costumes i wore as a kid, princessy dresses, ballerinas, dress up kind of clothing like the uptown girls star shoe replicas i made. a lot of nods to things i grew up loving. brittany murphy is my favorite style icon overall. not even just red carpet but even her street style was so effortlessly cool to me.”
Will Slayyyter tour in support of the album?
Slayyyter has some festival appearances in the months to come, including Coachella and Gov Ball in 2026.
