SLAYYYTER releases new song and self-directed video, “brand new chanel$” following the kick off of her sold-out WOR$T GIRL IN THE WORLD TOUR with three hometown shows in St. Louis. The release arrives off the heels of SLAYYYTER’s album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Dance Albums chart and received widespread critical acclaim.

With “brand new chanel$,” SLAYYYTER transforms heartbreak into a high-drama pop anthem that unravels through late-night phone calls, after parties, and a designer obsession. The lyrics capture the tension between emotional entanglement and the clarity that comes from finally walking away, turning personal devastation into unapologetic empowerment. The accompanying music video, directed by SLAYYYTER, returns to the same house featured in the “BEAT UP CHANEL$” music video. It also includes a nod to the fireworks shot from that video, as well as an inverted recreation of the WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA album artwork. 

 

This past spring, SLAYYYTER released her critically acclaimed album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, marking her most authentic and fully realized body of work to date. The record balances defiance with introspection, drawing inspiration from her St. Louis roots and the formative sounds that shaped her teen years. The album marked her debut on the Billboard 200 at #22 and was named Best New Album by Pitchfork. Since its release, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA has been included on numerous ‘Best of 2026’ album/song lists comprising Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork, Variety, ELLE, Vulture, The Ringer, Stereogum, Paste, The FADER, FLOOD Magazine, and more.

The entirely sold out WOR$T GIRL IN THE WORLD tour began earlier this week with three shows in SLAYYYTER’s hometown of St. Louis. The tour will continue in major cities including Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, São Paulo, Paris, and more before wrapping in London on November 5, 2026. Pearly Drops will join Slayyyter as support for all North America and UK apart from St. Louis. Kalika will join as support for all EU dates. 

 

Building on breakout performances at Coachella and Governors Ball, where she drew massive crowds and delivered two of the festival circuit's most talked-about pop sets, SLAYYYTER returns to festival stages at Lollapalooza this weekend, followed by Reading & Leeds and All Things Go D.C. later this year.

About SLAYYYTER: 

From her breakthrough 2019 self-titled mixtape to her 2021 debut Troubled Paradise and 2023’s STARFUCKER, SLAYYYTER proved herself to be one of the great shape-shifters of our time, taking the past, present, and future of pop and twisting it to her will. Early successes — “Daddy AF” went from viral hit making SLAYYYTER’s name online to soundtracking a key scene in the Oscar Best Picture winner Anora — fueled accolades from publications including Billboard, Paper, Variety, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and more, while earning SLAYYYTER opening slots with forebears like Tove Lo and Kesha. But even with all that, SLAYYYTER decided something wasn’t quite right. She decided to become who she was all along, underneath it all: the WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA.

 

SLAYYYTER’s third album is the most authentically her, while also boasting her most fully realized creative direction yet. She revisited her upbringing in St. Louis, and decided to make “iPod music” — a free-for-all of feral punk, corroded pop, and raunchy rap — conjuring the “Midwest-core tweaker bar rat” characters of her youth. Early singles “BEAT UP CHANEL$,” “CANNIBALISM!,” and “CRANK” steadily built hype for the project over the course of 2025, with fans fervently embracing the raw, swaggering SLAYYYTER that emerged from the ashes of her past selves. WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA is out now.
