Kim Gordon Announces Third Solo Album 'Play Me' for March 13, Shares Rodarte-Directed 'Not Today' Video

Produced by Justin Raisen, the record leans on motorik grooves and pointed commentary on AI, convenience culture and billionaire power.

Overview

  • The Matador release follows her Grammy-nominated 2024 album The Collective.
  • She reunites with producer Justin Raisen for shorter, faster, beat-driven songs rooted in krautrock and motorik rhythms.
  • Dave Grohl plays drums on “Busy Bee,” which incorporates a 1990s sample of Gordon with Free Kitten bandmate Julia Cafritz.
  • The title track critiques streaming’s playlist culture by riffing on mood-based categories.
  • Closer “ByeBye25!” revisits “Bye Bye” with lyrics drawn from the Trump administration’s so‑called banned-words list.
