“Sex Appeal” by Blackstarkids

Blackstarkids recently dropped their new single/video “Sex Appeal.” The news came alongside the announcement of their upcoming full-length project Cyberkiss, out September 23 via Dirty Hit. “This song is a homage to 2000s Neptunes, Timbaland, and Missy,” share the group on the song. “As well as, lyrically, a homage to Jay Z. ‘Light Your Ass On Fire’ from Clones was a big inspiration on this track, and we wanted to have a song that felt fun and confident.” The album includes a collaboration with beabadoobee.

Blackstarkids are about to wrap their extensive North American tour with Coin. The band also recently wrapped nationwide tours with Glass Animals, beabadoobee, Christian Leave, and GroupLove.

The group’s sound is deeply inspired by Toro Y Moi, N*E*R*D*, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Outkast, Odd Future, and A Tribe Called Quest – which was heard on their “black coming of age trilogy” of projects Let’s Play Sports, Surf and Whatever, Man that featured singles including “BRITNEY BITCH” and “FRANKIE MUNIZ.”
