Kim Petras' once-upcoming album may no longer see the light of day.
In aseries of tweetsposted Wednesday, some of which have since been deleted, the 29-year-old pop star opened up about herlong-awaited new album, which fans believe is calledProblématique, addressed rumors that her label Amigo Records is stalling its release and gave her supporters the go-ahead to listen the project’s recently leaked songs.
“It’s ok if u wanna listen to the leaks,” wrote Petras, perBillboard, referencing tracks that recently surfaced online — including the rumoredly titled “Je T’adore” andParis Hiltoncollaboration “All She Wants.”
Petras replied to the post with a rose emoji at the time, seemingly confirming the album had been shelved.
In response to a fan wondering if her Wednesday tweets meant the album was officially scrapped, however,Petras tweeted, “Nothing is scrapped […] I didn’t get approval to release anything. It’s limbo.”
The same fan then apologized for the pop star’s seemingly difficult experience, and Petras wrote back, “I hope you enjoy the songs truly . I made them for you guys so I hope you like them.”
A representative for Petras declined PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Last year, the musician seemed to launch her new album era with the release of “Future Starts Now,” which dropped alongside a French-themed music video — fitting for the project’s rumoredProblématiquetitle.
“I feel very passionate about this album, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted to make — it’s extreme pop music, which I love,” continued Petras. “I feel like I’m now brave enough to do outrageous songs that I never thought I could do, songs that I was kind of limiting myself from.”
“During the[COVID-19] pandemicand during lockdown, I just reminded myself what I wanted to do, — pop music, which, to me, is the ultimate escape from everything,” the German-born crooner added about the genre’s impact on the album. “I can put on my headphones and put on a great pop song and just forget about my problems or heartbreak or any of those things, and that’s what I want to do for people.”
