Kim Gordon – “PLAY ME” [Video]

Kim Gordon Just Dropped the Title Track and It Slaps: Play Me Arrives Friday

Kim Gordon is back and she brought the chaos. Her third solo album, Play Me, lands this Friday, March 13 via Matador Records — and today she unleashed the title track along with a video directed by Barney Clay. Go watch it.

The album has been rolling out with some serious heat. “Dirty Tech” kicked things off with a Moni Haworth directed video featuring Gordon prowling an abandoned corporate office, digging into the weird tension between humans and the machines slowly taking over. Then came “Not Today,” the lead single, wrapped in a short film from Rodarte founders Kate and Laura Mulleavy that felt more like art house cinema than a music video.

Play Me as a whole is Gordon doing what she does best: staring down billionaire culture, AI creep, and the slow erosion of everything that makes life interesting — and turning it into something you actually want to blast loud. It’s sharper and more physical than anything she’s put out before, but also strangely tender. Dark humor as a survival tool. Rage dressed up as a groove.

Pre-order Play Me here.
