Facta joins in the fun for a remix

Klein Zage has announced the release of ‘Tip Me Baby One More Time’ on May 1.

Released via her own imprint Orphan Records, the EP is a surreal and frank examination of the power dynamics within the gig economy.

The EP features Klein Zage’s spoken invocations over old school house and techno beats. Her monologues are like a peek into the stream of consciousness of anyone working in the service industry on a busy shift: cutting, witty and just trying to distract themselves from the mundanity of it all.

Joey G ii features on the EP, as does a Facta remix of the title track.
