Listen to phem’s new single slippery slope ahead of Avril Lavigne tour

After being announced as support for Avril Lavigne’s upcoming European and UK tour (along with girlfriends), phem has unveiled a brand-new single.

Entitled slippery slope, the song is about the “multiple masks” the musician has had to wear “on the daily”. phem explains the full story behind the track: “One time I was working at this place, it was in a mini mall in the valley… I won’t say what it was ’cause it doesn’t fucking matter anymore, and I had just signed my first deal, but I still had no money. And in walks the person that wasn’t the CEO of the label but like their right hand, big top dog… someone you wanna look cool for and impress, and who I had just met maybe a week earlier.

“‘phem?? what are you doing here?’ Anyways I said hi and pretended I didn’t work there and ran into the back and snuck away, hid until they left. Then I got in my car and called my gf at the time sobbing with embarrassment and anger. I was really fucking angry. Why did I have to be so unlucky and so lucky at the same time and furthermore why was she so shocked?

“I was grinding hard to make shit happen then and had to wear multiple masks on the daily – so like why was the bitxh so shocked? If it’s so alarming to you lady, you should’ve given me a bigger bag.”
