McKinley Franklin editor She’s not just Hollywood’s new mistress — Slayyyter is officially Hollywood’s “Starfucker.” One of pop music’s best-kept secrets, Slayyyter has been chasing new levels of stardom since 2018 when the now 26-year-old first started releasing self-made hyper-pop tracks on SoundCloud.

Five years later, she’s taken on the self-proclaimed title of “Hollywood Starfucker,” a campy moniker she uses to reference her tumultuous ascent in the social hierarchies of Los Angeles. “Starfucker” is also the title of Slayyyter’s sophomore record (out now via Fader Label), a 12-song collection that sees her transcending her pop-centric roots to expose the gritty realities of nightlife and a heightened sense of awareness about fame over racy club tempos.

The album opener, “I Love Hollywood,” paints the scene with references to Beverly Hills’ infamous zip code (90210), the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Blvd, fancy dinners and drugs over a dark, techno-imbued beat. “Oh, thank God I sold my soul,” she sings. “Glitter, smoke and rock and roll.” “I wanted to do something that was dramatized,” Slayyyter tells Variety over Zoom. “I was watching a lot of Brian De Palma movies and all these different things that memorized L.A.

in a specific way, and I wanted to make music that could reflect that. I feel like Hollywood in a general sense is glamorous but it’s also dirty and I wanted to have the sound reflect those different sides.” Below, Slayyyter strips down some of the details and stories that make up her new album “Starfucker.” You’ve said the album is inspired by nightlife.
