Courtney Love has found a new employment opportunity with Slayyyter, though the connection is metaphorical. The pop artist covered Violet from Hole's 1994 album Live Through This for Triple J's Like A Version. Love expressed her delight on social media, stating that Slayyyter would not be returning to St. Louis but had employed her to run a salon.
Although Slayyyter's rendition was slightly less gritty than the original, Love praised her vocal abilities, stating that there was no need for technical criticism. In an interview with Triple J, Slayyyter revealed that Live Through This was an important record during her high school years. She discussed discovering music through Tumblr and her fascination with Hole and Courtney Love's performance.
Slayyyter added that the cover was a nostalgic connection to her teenage years when music helped her express her anger. She is currently working on an inverse album where each song is a flip of the one before it. Hole's Love also shared her excitement about Slayyyter's upcoming project, calling her "once in a generation talent."
