Slayyyter Rips Through Cover of Hole’s “Violet” for Triple J Like a Version: Watch

Slayyyter, the pop artist known for her dynamic performances, took the stage on Triple J’s Like a Version series to deliver a powerful rendition of Hole’s iconic track “Violet.” The Nebraska-based musician’s interpretation showcased her ability to rock with a raspier voice and precise control, reminiscent of Courtney Love’s passionate delivery.

Her band provided ample space for Slayyyter to utilize her moody alto, leading into soaring choruses that encapsulate the emotional intensity found in her latest album, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA. The cover garnered attention from Hole’s frontwoman, Courtney Love, who reposted the performance on Instagram, expressing delight in Slayyyter’s talent.

Love’s comment read, “@slayyyter will in fact not be returning to St. Louis. She’s employed me to run the salon. Keep wiping the floors with us. It’s a DELIGHT ! 💋💋💋.” Slayyyter responded with gratitude, stating, “hope we made you proud 😭🖤🙏🏻.” In a behind-the-scenes interview with Triple J, Slayyyter revealed that Hole’s 1994 album Live Through This had a profound impact on her during high school.

The rawness and emotional quality of the band’s music resonated with her, particularly the track “Violet,” which she had attempted to learn on guitar. The artist’s latest album, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, was released in March, following a string of accolades including late-night TV appearances, performances at renowned music festivals, and the release of the single “brand new chanel$.”

The pop sensation is currently on tour across North America, with a stop in Los Angeles on August 23rd, and will continue her journey through festivals in Europe, North America, and beyond throughout the year.
