Courtney Love Praises Slayyyter’s “Violet” Cover
Courtney Love has publicly praised alternative artist Slayyyter after the singer released a cover of Hole’s 1994 grunge classic “Violet.” The performance, which debuted during an appearance on Australian radio, quickly captured the attention of the Hole frontwoman on social media.
Slayyyter, whose real name is Catherine Grace Garner, performed the track during a session for the popular radio segment. The broadcast featured both her own recently released single “Brand New Chanel$” and the high-energy cover of the seminal track from Hole’s breakthrough album Live Through This.
Instagram Approval and Fanfare from the Grunge Icon
Taking to Instagram, Love shared footage of the performance alongside a characteristic message of approval for the younger musician.
“@slayyyter will in fact not be returning to St. Louis. She’s employed me to run the salon. Keep wiping the floors with us,” Love wrote in her post, adding a definitive verdict on the rendition: “It’s a DELIGHT!”
Slayyyter responded directly in the comment section of the post, expressing gratitude with the message: “hope we made you proud.”
From Coachella Stages to Brash Pop Production
The radio session follows a busy touring and release schedule for Slayyyter, who dropped her third studio album, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, in March. The record earned critical attention, including a four-star review from music publications praising its distinct strain of brash, sleazy pop production.
Throughout the summer, the singer-songwriter brought her dynamic catalog to major festival stages, including a high-profile slot at Coachella.
