ANNOUNCES SPRING 2023 TOUR DATES
W/ AVRIL LAVIGNE
Alt pop-star phem is embracing a new era with an all-new track, and an especially vulnerable one at that. “slippery slope” packs an emotional punch, penned about the various stigmas that coincide with living life under a public lens. While fans may feel like they know the real phem, the song is about taking off the “mask” she feels compelled to wear. The new single will also get the video treatment on April 3 via her YouTube channel.
phem shares of slippery slope:
“one time i was working at this place, it was in a mini mall… in the valley… i won’t say what it was cuz it doesn’t fkn 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 u wanna look cool for, impress etc- and who i had just met maybe a week earlier…. —— “phem?? what are u 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 ffuxkn angry… why did i have to be so unlucky and so lucky at the same time & furthermore why was she so shocked… ya i was grinding hard to make shit happen the & had to wear multiple masks on the daily – so like why was the bitxh so shocked. if it’s so alarming to u lady, u should’ve given me a bigger bag”
