My first introduction to Kim Petras was the sweet, bubbly, hyper-pop princess persona that quickly became her brand with the release of singles like \u201cHeart to Break\u201d and \u201cDo Me\u201d. However, her new, full-length album, TURN OFF THE LIGHT, Kim Petras plays with dark but sexy Halloween themes, leaving us with a spooky, dance-electronic concept album. This album makes me feel like I just visited a Spirit Halloween that got turned into a rave. The tracks hit a lot of the same notes and leave a bit to be desired. Some, I would say, try a little too hard to be edgy\u2014\u201cBloody Valentine\u201d, \u201cDeath by Sex\u201d, \u201cClose Your Eyes\u201d. Others seem a little too clean-cut compared to the rest of the album, falling short of the spooky energy that songs like \u201cPurgatory\u201d, \u201cMassacre\u201d, and \u201cKnives\u201d deliver. The album\u2019s title track, \u201cTurn Off The Light\u201d (feat. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark) is rather disappointing\u2014again,\u00a0 a little too polished and clean considering the direction of the rest of the album. That being said, \u201cThere Will Be Blood\u201d, \u201cMassacre\u201d, \u201cIn The Next Life\u201d, and \u201co m e n\u201d all stand out to me in that the beats are extremely energetic, but at the same time reminiscent of those old Haunted House Sounds records that you find at Goodwill. All things considered, a good album for the month of October, but not much beyond that. (2\/5)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
