The appearance on the Australian radio show comes following Slayyyter dropping her latest album ‘ WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA , in March, and playing festival slots across the summer including Coachella.
NME gave her third studio album a four star review and praised it as a “new strain of brash, sleazy pop”.
“Giggling through the chaos of the past 13 tracks as psychedelic dream-pop fills in the gaps, we can’t help but give in to the cinematic peak of ‘Wor$t Girl In America’, touching us the way all good movies do,” it read.
