Kim Gordon has announced details of her third solo album, PLAY ME.

The Sonic Youth icon will release her latest solo endeavour in full on March 13 via Matador. Produced by Justin Raisen, Kim explains that, “We wanted the songs to be short. We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused, and maybe more confident. I always kind of work off of rhythms, and I knew I wanted it to be even more beat-oriented than the last one. Justin really gets my voice and my lyrics and he understands how I work – that came forth even more on this record.”

Kim’s previewing what’s to come with new single NOT TODAY, in which she reveals, “I started singing in a way I hadn’t sung in a long time. This other voice came out.”
