Slayyyter Releases Brand New Chanel$ as Worst Girl in the World Tour Launches
Slayyyter releases Brand New Chanel$ as her North American tour launches, continuing a year marked by late-night TV appearances and her vocal stance against artificial intelligence in music.
Slayyyter has entered a new chapter of her career. The pop artist released "Brand New Chanel$" this week, a fresh track that arrives as her Worst Girl in the World tour rolls into motion across North America. The release marks another moment in what has been a remarkably active period for the singer, one defined by a deliberate refusal to chase trends, particularly in an industry increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
Since April's album Wor$t Girl in America, Slayyyter has maintained consistent momentum. She made her late-night television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing "Dance" in a statement piece—a beer-can bralette that drew as much attention as the song itself. She followed this with the release of "Broke Bitch Free$tyle" and a guest appearance on Madeon's "Fire Away."
A Stand Against the Artificial
In a recent conversation with Billboard, Slayyyter addressed her artistic philosophy alongside fellow artists Bella Kay and Trueno. When asked about innovation in music, she struck a notably contrarian note. "I don't really like anything new," she said. "I don't even like a Roomba." The comment may have drawn laughter, but the underlying sentiment was serious.
Her real concern centres on artificial intelligence's encroachment into creative fields. "As AI is unfortunately taking over and flooding into music, movies, art, everything, I think people are leaning into things that feel more real," she explained to Billboard's Jason Lipshutz. This stance reflects a broader anxiety rippling through the music industry, where the authenticity of human-made work has become both a selling point and a battleground.
The Tour Begins
Slayyyter kicked off her Worst Girl in the World tour last weekend with a hometown show in St. Louis. The decision to release new material at the tour's launch is a classic move—giving fans something fresh to take home and play immediately, transforming each venue into a moment where the artist's latest work becomes part of the shared experience. "Brand New Chanel$" arrives with that same intention: a track designed to sit alongside the album material that has already found its audience.
Wor$t Girl in America landed in what Pitchfork called the best music of 2026 so far, cementing Slayyyter's position as an artist worth paying attention to. The album's commercial and critical reception matters less than the broader picture: she is working on her own timeline, releasing what she believes in, and speaking plainly about the cultural forces she opposes. In a moment when many artists hedge their statements and chase algorithmic favour, that directness feels almost defiant.
