Detour is a Pop album by Kim Petras, originally released in 2026.
About
<b>A pivot from campy Europop into the chaotic sounds of mid-2000s electro.</b> In January 2026, the German-born, LA-based pop star Kim Petras lashed out against her former label, Republic Record, claiming that her third album and its singles had spent six months stuck in limbo. That album, <i>Detour</i>, arrives on Petras’ own BunHead Record, her first on the label since 2020. A pivot from the campy Europop of previous albums <i>Feed the Beast</i> and <i>Problématique</i>, the album’s 13 tracks are steeped in the messy, chaotic sounds of mid-aughts electro, with heavy ba, distorted vocal, and production credits that include Frost Children, Margo XS, and the late SOPHIE (who appears on <b>“Basketball”</b> alongside BC Kingdom). Petras lusts over an unavailable guy on the starry-eyed bloghouse banger <b>“I Like Ur Look,”</b> gets freaky in the Polo Lounge over buzzsaw synths on <b>“Polo,”</b> and loiters in gas station parking lots on “Jeep,” an ode to Americana co-written by Porches’ Aaron Maine. .
