Kim Gordon Returns

The mighty Kim Gordon has just released one of the year’s best singles,in my opinion. Takes from her forthcoming second album, The Collective, Bye Bye is a stormer, with ESG influenced noise, trap beats and Gordon’s unmistakably defiant, half sung, half purred vocals.

With a video to accompany the single starring her daughter Coco as a runaway, the track bodes well for the new material, seemingly at once a list of items she’s packing, or discarding. It’s this ambivalence that gives the song its power. Gordon is at her best when she’s inscrutable, and this is no exception.

At a time when some of her peers are happy to play it commercial and safe,Kim Gordon always does her own unique thing. I’m glad that she doesn’t take obvious routes.
