The favorites - both hers and the fans’ - have made their way onto “Feed the Beast.” She was originally supposed to drop an album last year, called “Problématique,” which was scrapped after several of the songs leaked online. She released two projects independently before the deal with Republic.

Her debut single, “I Don’t Want It At All,” was released in 2017 and charted on Spotify’s global viral charts. The Cologne-born singer and writer began by releasing songs independently, starting with her first EP in 2011. Petras may be releasing her studio debut, but she’s in no way a new artist. “It just matters, am I a good musician? Can I write songs? Am I talented? And that’s kind of where I’ve always found so much equality in music, because we all have emotions and we all feel the same things, regardless of gender and regardless of where we’re from and our skin color and things like that.” “ Music to me has always been equality in the way that I can go into a studio with people I’ve never met, and if I’m good, they love working with me, and it doesn’t matter who I am or what my gender identity is or who I’m in love with or anything like that,” Petras says. To be clear, Petras loves playing in gay clubs - and wants to keep doing that forever - but her dreams have always included Grammys, sold-out stadiums and big proper record deals. It’s a long way away from the early meetings Petras took with record companies, all of which pigeonholed her as a gay club artist.
