BLACKSTARKIDS Announce New Project CYBERKISS*, Share “SEX APPEAL”: Stream

BLACKSTARKIDS are back with the announcement of their new project, CYBERKISS*, out September 23rd via Dirty Hit. As a first preview, they have shared a fresh track called “SEX APPEAL.” Check it out below.

CYBERKISS* marks the follow-up to the Kansas City group’s 2021 debut album, Puppies Forever. The 17-song collection features a sole collaboration with labelmate beabadoobee. Check out the artwork and tracklist below; pre-orders are ongoing.

Calling back to early aughts hip-hop, “SEX APPEAL” is a maximalist hit of braggadocio from BLACKSTARKIDS, as TheBabeGabe, TyFaizon, and Deiondre rap over blaring sirens and quirky percussion. “I’m up for the night, I don’t need a pill/ Don’t talk to me unless you got sex appeal,” the trio insist. In the single’s music video, they dance around a washed-out, white room. Watch it below.

“This song is a homage to 2000s Neptunes, Timbaland, and Missy [Elliott],” they explained in a statement. “As well as, lyrically, a homage to JAY-Z. ‘Light Your Ass on Fire’ from [The Neptunes’ 2003 album] Clones was a big inspiration on this track, and we wanted to have a song that felt fun and confident.”

Last year, BLACKSTARKIDS broke down Puppies Forever for us track by track. The band has a few more dates opening for COIN in the works, and the remaining tickets are on sale now. Check out photos of their 2022 Lollapalooza set here.
