The 22-year-old darling of the synth, Slayyyter, is the Internet pop star of the moment. In other words she is the pop star of the moment. Sure, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift have a gazillion more followers on Instagram, but the in-crowd — like the young hipsters hanging hard at her sold out show at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles this past weekend — know what time it is. They know it’s Slayyyter time. And just before the show? Slayyyter time in the jungle in this wicked leopard-print string bikini.
Or Slayyyter time on the palm-laden pink island sanctuary seen here. Miami, if you believe her.
Want a taste of what the hipsters are so excited about. Catherine Slater is the given name, but that’s pre-synthesizer. And once you go synth, you can’t go back, so it’s Slayyyter all the way. Listen below. Sweet like candy? But a dangerous kind of candy you might choke on a little.
