In 2025, Kim Gordon reworked her single \u201cBye Bye\u201d into an indictment against the Trump administration. Now she\u2019s back with a new solo album that similarly takes aim at politicians and the billionaire class; Play Me<\/em> is out March 13 via Matador. Musically, Gordon is less steely than usual on its lead single, \u201cNot Today,\u201d in which she breaks out her singing voice for the first time in years. Check out that track along with its music video below.<\/p>\n

Rodarte founders Kate and Laura Mulleavy directed the \u201cNot Today\u201d clip and pulled out a custom-made tulle dress that they designed for Gordon years back, bringing out both her edge and femininity. In the video, Gordon shoots hoops, dances freely, and swings her guitar around in circles, mirroring her unexpected freedom in the recording studio. \u201cI started singing in a way I hadn\u2019t sung in a long time,\u201d said Gordon. \u201cThis other voice came out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Play Me<\/em> is Gordon\u2019s third solo album, following 2024\u2019s The Collective<\/em>, and includes one guest feature: Dave Grohl drumming on \u201cBusy Bee.\u201d Gordon has a renewed creativity across the LP that she partially credits to reuniting with producer Justin Raisen. \u201cWe wanted the songs to be short,\u201d said Gordon. \u201cWe wanted to do it really fast. It\u2019s more focused, and maybe more confident. I always kind of work off of rhythms, and I knew I wanted it to be even more beat-oriented than the last one. Justin really gets my voice and my lyrics and he understands how I work\u2014that came forth even more on this record.\u201d<\/p>\n
