Lyrics for your Instagram captions:
I want all my clothes designer
I want someone else to buy them
I Don’t Want It At All
If you buy me diamonds
And you keep me smiling
Baby, I can be with you
I Don’t Want It At All
Hillside boys you call my name
You make my heart sparkle like champagne
Hillside Boys
All my exes want attention, I ain’t payin’ it
Hills
Where you’re most likely to hear it: Slumber parties, Forever 21, gay beach parties
Why you should listen to it: Aside from being good fun, Kim is a trans artist who’s ready for mainstream pop listeners. If you’re on the wrong side of 25, you might feel a little old, but a few bops in and you’ll forget all about the age difference.
