Kid Tigrrr’s Roar: The Shoegaze Revival You Didn’t See Coming

In a move that’s got the indie world buzzing, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins recently threw a spotlight on Kid Tigrrr’s third single, ’Skin’ describing it as „kind of shoegazy,”. And it doesn’t stop there. In a surprising twist of fate, the alternative rock icon has tapped the rising star to lend her haunting vocals to the Smashing Pumpkins’ forthcoming album, Aghori Mhori Mei.

’Skin’ is a melancholic yet empowering anthem, a tapestry of emotions stitched together with dreamy melodies and introspective lyrics.

“I want to wear my skin like I did before I became a stranger in it,”

Jenna Fournier, the voice behind Kid Tigrrr, sings with a raw vulnerability that cuts deep. It’s a line that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt disconnected from their own identity, a sentiment wrapped in the track’s indie folk fabric and elevated by its haunting overtones, a distorted guitar solo, and a generous sprinkle of dream pop magic.

Jenna Fournier is no stranger to the stage. After a decade of leading a heavy shoegaze rock band, she’s now unfurling her wings with Kid Tigrrr, revealing a softer, more intimate side of her artistry. This new solo project places a spotlight on her poignant lyrics, ethereal vocals, and the DIY spirit of her bedroom production. The shift from band frontwoman to solo artist has allowed Fournier to delve deeper into her personal narrative, crafting songs that are as introspective as they are expansive.
