Those marketing notes came in handy when cultivating a devoted following online. Her fans were suddenly doing all the work for her, recommending her music to Charli XCX and seeing Charli put one of her songs on a public playlist when Slater had only a few singles out. It was clear that she fit in with this current era of pop stars — like the innovative Kim Petras or eccentric Caroline Polachek — especially during the experimental era of hyperpop.
It was inevitable that this record would contain more than Slater’s signature sound. As someone who creates excessively, she never wants to do the same thing over and over. “I definitely had some Avril Lavigne influence,” she says, and points to “Villain,” a synthy sass anthem, which reckons with the way the music industry treats women: “I’m no villain / But they want me to be one.
“On one hand, I feel like I love [stan culture] so much because I feel like the memes and the jokes are what put my music on the map,” she says. “But there’s also a side where you’re put under certain criticisms and it’s a bit more ruthless than other fanbases.” She’s tried to keep her real name private,from the media in an attempt to keep fans and press away from her family. But as her star has grown, so has her presence: She has her own Wikipedia page and fan forums dedicated to her.
Still, once an artist has climbed to a high enough rung on the ladder of internet fame, they’re often afforded more breathing room. Slater is using hers to open herself up to the world with this new era. She knows it’s time for her to step out of the digital realm as the character she is and stand before everyone as a three-dimensional real person whose songs are only getting better from here.
