The anachronistic and neo-fascist Hungary Anti-LGBT Law It is made up of a series of legislative amendments approved almost unanimously by the Hungarian Parliament on June 15, 2021, in a vote of 157 to 1. Hungarian opposition parties, human rights groups, the EU and the United States they consider them discriminatory against LGBT people. In contrast, most Eastern European EU countries did not take a public stance, apart from Poland, which supported the Hungarian position.

And five months later, the first trans singer to reach the top of pop, Peter Kimcame out to sing at the awards MTV EMA on November 14, 2021 held in Budapest. And, metaphorically, he rubbed her tits in the haters’ faces. The bravery of this girl, only 29 years old, was reflected in her face:

Look at my coconuts, put them in your mouth, watch them bounce up and down.

As if that were not enough, he ended his historic three-minute performance with another little message:

Give me from behind, if you’re going to leave me, at least give me from behind before you leave, baby.

Dressed in a bubblegum green suit, very queer dancers, gigantic coconuts cut in half like elevators, at the end of My Coconuts y Hit It from the Back, Petras grabbed her breasts and massaged them as if there were no tomorrow.

Does my femininity bother you, take tits!

Not in vain is she the artistic daughter of Madonna.

I am transgender and performing at the EMAs is going to be very powerful being in Hungary, giving my show in the middle of all these anti-LGTBIQ+ laws

He stated days before, promising revelry.

Music is so powerful precisely because it breaks barriers; It doesn’t matter what gender you are, or what sexuality you practice, or what color skin you have. Music is universal.

Peter Kim He launched the search for his gender identity very soon. He was born in Cologne, Germany in 1992, as a child, and grew up in the nearby small town of Hennef.

I’ve always felt like a girl. At five years old I hated my body.

I couldn’t identify with my biological sexuality, I wanted it to disappear

I was lucky to have parents who really understood me.

Interview in the weekly The time

But his entourage was much less understanding. Today, she triumphs thanks to her indisputable talent as a lyricist, producer and show woman.

Miss Petras is the new princess of electropop, currently considered a promise of music and the fight for LGTBIQ+ rights. His taste for good music and his talent for composition leave no room for doubt. And her love for HALLOWEEN, much less. She is quite a fan.

The themed mixtape he worked on for much of 2017, Turn Off the Light vol. 1, is the Halloween-esque album par excellence, perfect to prepare for the party on October 31, or to rock it on the dancefloor. And that is why it is our special recommendation today.

My character in this concept EP is a murderer. I have my moments of regret, like… but what have I done?

It’s my ‘I’ from the dark side. The evil Kim attacking me, and I can’t stop her from possessing me.

After uploading a series of “creepy” photos on social networks, he launched to know Turn Off The Light, Vol. 1 at the stroke of midnight on October 1, 2018 through his own label, BunHead. Petras began promoting the EP in mid-September, posting like a sexy Victoria’s Secret dead angel. The eight-track mixtape was inspired by her love of horror movies and was his attempt to create the perfect soundtrack for Halloween. And he created a work of art.

Any Halloween albums or EPs?

There was nothing! There are a lot of Christmas songs, but one of my favorite holidays is Halloween, so that’s really the reason behind this project.

Interview in Cosmopolitan.

Turn Off the Light Vol. 1 has elements of eighties synthpopbecause it is inspired by 80s horror movies. The inspiration was slasher soundtracks, like It Follows y Halloween. The photos were taken by visual artist Lucas David, including the cover.

Let’s make an album for my favorite holidays. Halloween is like Christmas for gays and for me!

The EP opens with Omeninspired in Halloween. A sinister omninous production mixed with heavenly vocals shines here. It’s a trip to the 80s, perfect for lovers of Stranger Things. A happy and sinister song that sounds like the excitement that vampires feel seeing exposed necks in the middle of a nightclub. Close Your Eyes warns: You have nowhere to run, there is no way you will get out of this alive. And, like a black widow, she sings sensually:

When night falls, I’m going to eat your heart. She closes her eyes.

Petras has spoken on several occasions about her experience with transphobiaboth in her personal life and her music career, stating that many record labels rejected her for being transgender and tried to get other labels to do the same. TRANSylvania (a cool title, by the way) doesn’t feature Kim’s voice, but it does include throbbing bass and very German, very German sound effects. Kraftwerk o Miss Kittin & the Hackers. The prelude to something going to happen. The perfect revenge against those echoes of the past. Everyone has to die for being assholes, basically.

Do you want to see the dark side? Turn off the light. The song Turn Off the Light -inspired in Blackout (Britney Spears) and in Monster Mash (Bobby Pickett & the Crypt-Kickers) – features a stellar appearance by Elvirathe same Lady of Darkness: Embrace your fears, don’t dare run away. Only then will you be what you are destined to be. The goth queen complements Kim’s performance, encouraging a potential lover to walk the fine line between pain and pleasure. You like vice, your dirty desires, we were destined to meet. Cassandra Peterson, the voice of Elvira, told Billboard: “Kim’s mixtape is so good it’s scary. I’m delighted to have been part of this fucking madness!«. Elvira’s speech is a tribute to the “rap” of Vincent Price in Thriller of Michael Jackson and it works the same way: a horror legend lends a young artist his dark side. Brutal.

Synths and bells open Tell Me It’s a Nightmare. Be careful when you love me. I’m just looking for blood. You know this will be your end, but you have always been an ambitious. I Don’t Wanna Die... it’s a delight synth-pop oscura and out of standards, another transition that could be the soundtrack of any American cemetery where they celebrate Halloween. In the Next Life sings: I am the greatest that God created. I am a contagious disease. A demon with power. Petras’ alter ego sings powerfully before switching to German in a later verse. It is one of the strongest songs on the mixtape and the composer’s favorite song; very theatrical, inspired by Freddy Mercury. A great song, once again, very European. Kim embraces the dark side of her and dies, but she doesn’t feel scared. This second passage makes a veiled reference to Luciferthe beautiful angel. ¡Boo! Bitch! is the eighth and final instrumental track of the first volume. Of all, this is the shortest of the project. According to Petras, this was going to be the title song, but was later replaced by Turn Off The Light.

The second part of the EP was released a year later, on October 1, 2019 through his own record label, BunHead. It was announced as another EP (Turn off the Light, Vol. 2) although it was finally released as an LP with the eight songs from Vol. 1 and nine unreleased songs that play with various genres such as dance-pop, electropop, EDM, house, synthpop, hip-hop and trap. The use of synthesizers and auto-tune manipulates Petras’ high voice to make it less human.

Purgatory It opens with a sinister chorus and quickly changes to a disco style, creating a much more tense atmosphere, and indicates that this is an experience that must be lived in order, as it releases one catchy song after another. There Will Be Blood sings about “your disappearance”, and together with Bloody Valentine it is an impressive funk that could excite Frankenstein himself. Kim incarnates into a monster, ready to hunt and kill as much trouble as he can. She divine. Wrong Turn It’s the big banger, a dark synth line, Petras’ trembling vocal performance keeping the momentum going, like victims fleeing a masked killer. It features “familiar sonic tropes like thunder, a dramatic organ, haunted children’s choirs, mutated screams and more unexpected sounds, knives scraping against each other.” You smell a possible reference to the horror movie here Wrong Turn (Mike P. Nelson, 2021) where groups of people end up making a “wrong turn” and get lost in a sinister forest and end up being hunted by cannibals.

Demons creates an atmosphere of fear, with dialogue about how demons exist in the form of spirits. A mostly instrumental song. Massacre has verses of Carol of the Bells1914 composition by the Ukrainian artist Mykola Leontovychwhich is associated with Christmas, but Petras adapted the melody with mysterious instrumentals y gothic letters about men of blood and death. Kim confirmed that she wanted to spoil the lyrics to be scary.

Halloween is the beginning of the holiday season for me. I’ve always wanted to make a song that sounds scary and festive at the same time.

The song seems to be written from the perspective of a vampire and his group, in search of a victim to sacrifice. Knives is the fourth instrumental track, with knives being sharpened and disappearing in fade out along with macabre screams, mutant screams and choral voices that give a bad vibe. In Death By Sex, Petras embraces her darkness because the devil always wins. A topic with a simple premise: I’m so good at sex that your death is inevitable. Sex, sex, sex is a play on words that refers to… 666, the number of the beast. Everybody Dies is the final song In this song, Petras sings that after all the tears and hardships we go through in life, we all face death in the end. She sings nostalgically about the horrible things her alter ego did, and how proud she is of his evil personality. The album closes with a positive and triumphant sound, maintaining the general theme of death on Halloween. Petras adopts a positive attitude about the concept of death, giving us a message: live life to the fullest and embrace those we love while they are still close. Not everyone lives, but everyone dies.

In 2020 this album was reissued with another bonus track: Party Till I Die.

I just want to party until I die.

I only come back to life at midnight.

I’m looking for another high, I don’t care if it’s killing me.

This is what I really need.

My body is in ecstasy.

A dark paradise that calls me home.

And the Billboard list, surrendered to what it considers one of the best LGBTQ songs of the pandemica real horror.

This is, in short, one of the best albums dedicated to the festival of spirits, pumpkins and slah. Written by a woman with a pair of good ovaries since she has only just begun a career that oscillates between the European underground and the American mainstream pop. An album to take into account during these gothic dates. An album to be claimed by lovers of Halloween, techno pop, LGTBIQ+ rights and good music, in general. And that is why it is our recommendation today. LONG LIVE PETRAS.
