It seems implausible that any Jenndashian could sneeze, let alone release an album, without the world knowing every intimate detail. Still, people really believe that King Kylie has created a musical alter ego — and the internet is going crazy. Fans freaked the hell out and demanded to know what the song was. Even I liked it, and I can’t say KJ and I have much common ground. Anyway, Kylie has seriously wide-ranging musical tastes, so it wasn’t much of a surprise when she announced that the song was “Three Strikes” by unknown band Terror Jr. If that sounds seriously unlikely to you, you’re not alone. If it seems borderline creepy to you, you’re not alone in that either. Terror Jr was a literal ghost — until March 31st, when Kylie Cosmetics dropped the Glosses video. After the makeup mini-movie was posted on Kylie’s app and online, Terror Jr both created a Soundcloud account and posted the song, Three Strikes — the first time it was available anywhere. It’s since been listened to almost five million times. It seemed insane, but people started asking if it was possible that Kylie Jenner herself was the one singing on Three Strikes. But no. The conspiracy theory began to pick up steam online, though it was mostly limited to low-level music blogs and speculation in Instagram comments. The other two dudes in the band have also gone to crazy-ass lengths to hide their frontwoman’s identity — all while Terror Jr has gone on dropping a series of surprisingly excellent songs. I mean, they’re not opera — but the singing is good, the production is solid, and “Sugar” is a freaking summertime monster of a song. Perhaps this is why Kylie hasn’t wanted to plaster the earth with her involvement — Jenner is, at best, a controversial figure. There’s a large contingent of people who would hate ANYTHING she does, just because she’s the one doing it… perhaps she just wants the band (and her singing) to be judged on its own merits. But more than that — this temporary anonymity seems to have set Kylizzle free. Teen Vogue reached out to Terror Jr for an interview, and they responded to every question using only grape emojis. This is something that Kylie, in ANY capacity, could never do — no matter how much I’m sure she probably wants to. Sometimes a mask, or a pink wig, can liberate you. Very early this morning, UK media outlets began reporting that Twitter had FINALLY CONFIRMED that Kylizzle was, in fact, the third member of Terror Jr. Does that sound convoluted? I thought so, too — especially because all of the Twitter “sources” were screenshotted tweets that had since been deleted. So I decided to confirm the story myself. I logged onto ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, which is a non-profit that makes sure their members get paid for performance and use of their music. AND LO AND BEHOLD…
