ko aka koala is a DIY pop star pushing the boundary of how much blunt humor and simultaneous sex appeal you should put into a song. Her EP Chef’s Kiss, out on 12/1, continues her ascent as an alt pop icon.

 

stoptryingtohavesexwithme is a very blunt statement – it’s not normally what you would say when you’re rejecting someone but it is what you’re thinking. I wanted to tell people (and myself) to not be afraid to be straightforward when turning someone down and also to not feel obligated to water down your sexuality or yourself in order to avoid harassment.”

On the EP ko aka koala reveals:

“The Chef’s Kiss EP is my very first EP, which is an important event in my musical journey.

I wanted these songs to be mischievous and they will probably catch you off guard. The whole EP goes through a rollercoaster of emotions.”
