Kylie Jenner has made her official music debut as King Kylie. Check it out below.
Anticipation for Jenner’s first foray into music has been building since 2016, when she launched a campaign for a new range of lip glosses from her beauty brand, Kylie Cosmetics.
In the ad, she played a getaway driver in a Spring Breakers-style scenario, in which three gun-yielding young women cheat some gangsters out of a bag of money in the middle of the desert.
The commercial made headlines for the song used in the background, which was ‘3 Strikes’ – a debut single from a pop group called Terror Jr. At the time, there was little information about the band, leading fans to speculate that the singer was actually Jenner.
Later, it was revealed that the group was actually comprised of former The Cataracs band members David “Campa” Benjamin Singer-Vine, Lisa Vitale, and Felix Snow.
Now, Jenner has teamed up with the group to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Kylie Cosmetics, this time featuring on the track.
A new campaign sees the story continue, with Jenner in an interrogation room being grilled by detectives. “We’ve got you on multiple counts of being the baddest bitch on Earth, slaying 24/7, just being an all-around impressive young lady,” they tell her.
Later, she’s released, and her mother, Kris Jenner, is waiting to pick her up in a Rolls-Royce with a glove compartment full of the upcoming Kylie Cosmetics lip gloss launch.
The film is soundtracked by ‘Fourth Strike’, a new song by Jenner and Terror Jr. Jenner performs only on the bridge of the track, singing: “One strike, two strike, let me get the mood right / I just wanna tell you, ‘I’m sorry’ / Touch me, baby, tell me I’m your baby. Write your name all over my body / Cross the line, I might do it again / Do it on purpose just to see how it ends / King Kylie.”
Watch it below.
Jenner has now set up profiles on Spotify and Apple Music as King Kylie – her famous moniker from the 2010s.
It marks the first official music release from Jenner, though in 2016 she did make a brief cameo on the track ‘Beautiful Day’ from producer Burberry Perry.
