metroweekly.com:

Problématique. The full-length was already well-known to her most ardent fans, but until now, it hadn’t been made available in full on proper streaming and sales platforms.

Problématique was announced more than a year ago as Petras’s debut album. While it was initially expected to drop sometime in the summer of 2022, it leaked, and was quickly shelved by her record label.

The full story of why that happened was never shared, but there are rumors that her producer, the highly-controversial Dr. Luke, didn’t approve of it in the end.Petras poured her creativity into crafting the dance-pop album during the pandemic lockdown.

The 10-song set is heavily inspired by French house music, and those fans who have heard it love the collection. The release of Problématique comes only three months after Petras unveiled what turned out to be her major label debut full-length, Feed the Beast.The decision to release Problématique was prompted by the ongoing demands of her dedicated fanbase, but there’s likely more to the move than that.
