"Keeping up with the Kardashian-Jenners('s jobs) is starting to feel like a full-time job. On October 13, the pop duo Terror Jr dropped "Fourth Strike," briefly featuring Kylie Jenner sing-rapping and whispering under the moniker King Kylie. Some people have billed the release as Jenner's musical debut, which ignores (1) her "rise and shine" anthem for daughter Stormi and (2) the main function of the track as a follow-up to a 2016 Kylie Cosmetics commercial. In case you missed her reign the first time around,here's what to know about why King Kylie is making a comeback."
"Like the 2010s, of course. Jenner appears only on the bridge of "Fourth Strike." With the help of AutoTune and a breathy, Addison Rae-like tone, she sings and raps lyrics like "One strike, two strike, let me get the mood right / I just wanna tell you I'm sorry" and "Touch me, baby, tell me I'm your baby." (Naturally, she ends her verse by whispering, "King Kylie.")"
Kylie Jenner appears on Terror Jr's new single "Fourth Strike," using her decade-old King Kylie persona for a brief, AutoTune-tinged bridge. The contribution features a breathy, whispering delivery and playful sing-rapped lines that echo 2010s pop trends. The King Kylie persona originated as an aesthetic alter ego tied to Jenner's Snapchat-era image and the 2015 launch of Kylie Lip Kits, which helped build the Kylie Cosmetics brand. The track functions partly as a follow-up to a 2016 Kylie Cosmetics commercial that used Terror Jr's "3 Strikes," and Jenner acknowledged past rumors about her involvement while announcing the feature.
