Background

Abigail Hyland of The Line of Best Fit wrote that the EP "[vocalises] a problem that’s been festering at the core of the music industry since its beginnings; for too long female artists have been subject to manipulation and oppression from men in positions of power".[2] Musically, Don't Kill My Vibe is a pop EP.[1]

"Don't Kill My Vibe", the EP's title track, was released as the lead single from the EP on 10 February 2017.[3] Commercially, it reached number 28 in Norway,[4] as well as the top twenty in Scotland.[5]

"Plot Twist" was released as the second single from the EP on 14 July 2017.[6] The song has charted in Belgium, reaching number 44 on the Ultratip chart.[7]

Critical reception

Jason Lipshutz, writing for Billboard, called the EP "13 minutes of spectacular songwriting, four songs full of immediately charming hooks that wind their way toward bigger, more perfect choruses".[8]

gollark: Probably, though?
gollark: That would kind of defeat the point.
gollark: I'm not sure how else you could do it, really, since the situation with cryptocurrencies is that you need some way to deterministically, mathematically, decentrally verify that the money actually does belong to a specific person.
gollark: This avoids the problems of proof of stake/work, but does mean you get some authority controlling it, which is... well, the situation now?
gollark: We have... several thousand of them.
