Kittie Release “Do You Think I’m a Whore?” Music Video
A quarter century ago, a group of young Canadian women got together and recorded an album that let girls and women everywhere that metal was an avenue they could pursue if they wanted. Of course, I’m talking about Kittie and their debut album Spit. Today, all those years later, a new EP focusing on the legacy of Spit dropped and its latest single asks the same question it asked all those years ago: “Do you think I’m a whore?”
No stranger to mysogyny, vocalist and guitarist Morgan Lander said she was excited that this track was getting the attention it desrved.
“We’re beyond excited to revisit and reimagine songs that that started it all for us with Spit XXV. Re-recording these songs has been an emotional and empowering journey. It’s a chance to honour our roots while bringing a new level of energy and experience to the music. Spit XXV isn’t sdjust a celebration of where we came from, but a thank-you to the fans who have stood by us for the past 25 years.
“‘Do You Think I’m A Whore?’ has always been the dark horse of our debut album and it is was such a pleasure to give it the updated treatment and celebrate how awesome of a song it really is. Pair that with the unbelievable music video visuals from William Felch at Wombat Fire and it’s clear the track is finally getting its flowers.”
As for the entire Spit XXV EP project, Lander said when it was announced that it was an exciting prospect for the band to revisit after all these years.
“It’s hard to believe that 25 years after its release, and almost 30 years since Kittie began, people are still talking about Spit. There is something truly unexplainable in why our debut album is still resonating with people, finding a new audience and has had such a lasting impact on so many.
“Reimagining some of these classic songs for the 25th anniversary of Spit was a lot of fun and a true testament to their longevity. It reveals just how relevant in the musical landscape they still are today. We were honored to work with Garth again where it all began after more than two decades, and doing so was a cool way to pay homage to the past while updating these songs with a modern sound, bringing them into the future.”
Spit XXV is out now, so check it out wherever you listen to it wherever you get your music these days.
