Kylie Jenner has made her official music debut as the breathy vocalist on Terror Jr.’s new hit, “Fourth Strike.” The song is a follow-up to Terror Jr.’s “Three Strikes,” which was included in a campaign for the introduction of Kylie Cosmetics lip glosses almost ten years ago.
Jenner was featured in “Fourth Strike” to celebrate that milestone, and she sings a brief sample at the song’s conclusion. Jenner sings and raps at the song’s bridge, “One strike, two strike, let me get the mood right.” “Do it on purpose just to see how it ends.” She whispers her alleged artist name, “King Kylie,” as she closes up her verse.
The song is featured in a new Kylie Cosmetics commercial that draws inspiration from the teal-tinted imagery of “King Kylie,” Jenner’s edgy persona that she debuted in 2014, the same year she started to design her cosmetics line. Jenner said over the weekend that she will be relaunching some of her iconic Kylie Cosmetics items from that era under the “King Kylie” banner.
In the commercial, Jenner plays a recently freed prisoner, showing her acting abilities. The two drive off into the sunset after her mother, Kris Jenner, picks her up in a black convertible.
“This King Kylie Collection is truly for you!!!” Jenner wrote in an Instagram post. “You’re the reason my biggest cosmetic dreams came true, and I wouldn’t be here 10 years later! without your support.”
David “Campa” Benjamin Singer-Vine and Lisa Vitale are the singers of Terror Jr. Felix Snow departed the group in late 2017. “Three Strikes,” which they premiered in the Kylie Cosmetics lip gloss commercial, was the group’s first single. Few people were aware of Terror Jr. at the time, and their image—which lacked names or faces—supported that strategy.
Jenner denied her claims on Snapchat, claiming she was not engaged in the music, despite many people believing she was the lead vocalist. In late 2016, with the publication of their debut EP, “Bop City,” the group made their names public.
The Moment, Charli xcx’s upcoming A24 film, will feature Jenner’s acting in greater detail soon. “The Moment” stars Jenner, Alexander Skarsgard, Rachel Sennott, Shygirl, and others and was directed by Aidan Zamiri, a frequent collaborator of Charli.
