Kim Gordon has released the title track “Play Me,” the latest preview of her upcoming solo album Play Me, out March 13 via Matador Records. The new single arrives alongside a music video directed by filmmaker Barney Clay, offering another look at Gordon’s third solo record.
The Kim Gordon “Play Me” album continues the artist’s exploration of experimental rock, electronic textures, and spoken-word delivery. The title track highlights Gordon’s ability to merge sharp cultural commentary with hypnotic rhythms, creating a sound that feels both confrontational and playful.
“Play Me” follows the previously released single “DIRTY TECH,” which examines the tension between humans and machines. That track arrived with a video directed by Moni Haworth, placing Gordon inside an abandoned corporate office environment that visually echoed the song’s themes. Earlier single “NOT TODAY” was accompanied by a short film directed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte with cinematography by Christopher Blauvelt.
Alongside the new single, Gordon has also announced a run of spring and summer 2026 tour dates across North America and Europe. The tour begins April 2 in Los Angeles at Sid The Cat, followed by shows in Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, and San Francisco. Gordon will also perform across Europe this spring with stops in London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, and festival appearances including Rewire Festival and Variations Festival.
Across its eleven tracks, Play Me reflects Gordon’s ongoing interest in power, technology, and the cultural shifts shaping modern life. The album examines the ripple effects of the billionaire class, artificial intelligence, and the increasingly surreal pace of contemporary culture while remaining deeply personal in tone.
Rather than offering simple conclusions, Gordon approaches these ideas with curiosity and experimentation, continuing a decades-long career defined by boundary-pushing music and fearless artistic evolution.
Play Me is released March 13 via Matador Records.
