Klein Zage urges customers to 'Tip Me Baby One More Time' with her new EP

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.
