Review
Slayyyter's self-titled debut album is a high-octane dive into hyperpop and Y2K nostalgia, blending infectious pop hooks with glitchy, club-ready production. Across the tracklist, Slayyyter showcases her flair for chaotic yet thoughtfully constructed pop music, drawing clear inspiration from early 2000s icons while firmly rooting her sound in modern digital aesthetics. The album thrives on its unapologetic attitude and sharp-edged energy. Tracks like "Mine" and "BFF" surge with bold synths and cheeky lyrics, while slower moments such as "Clouds" reveal a more vulnerable, dreamy side. Slayyyter’s vocal delivery is confident and commanding, complementing the loud, maximalist production. Though the album occasionally leans a bit too heavily on aesthetic over substance, its charisma and commitment to its vision make it a standout in the underground pop scene. Slayyyter cements herself as a rising voice in the alt-pop world, delivering an album that’s as brash as it is addictively fun.
