From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ayesha Erotica is an American record producer, songwriter, and singer.

Career[edit]

While in Los Angeles, Erotica began collaborating with singer Slayyyter in August 2018 with their single "BFF".[1] The two released a host of other collaborative songs on SoundCloud, including a Christmas song and the That Kid collaboration "Dial Tone", which Steffanee Wang of Nylon praised as a "DIY triumph" and which Paper's Brendan Wetmore described as a breakout hit for all three artists.[2][3][4][5] Several of the collaborations between Erotica and Slayyyter were included on Slayyyter's debut self-titled mixtape released the following year, with Erotica credited under the name Ms. Cheeseburger.[4] Erotica also took her music off of the internet and stopped making music using the name Ayesha Erotica in 2018 after fans doxxed her and her family.[6] Many of her own songs, including the Christian pop song "Vacation Bible School", her 2017 song "Yummy", and many of her unreleased demos, became popular TikTok audios starting in 2019.[7] Erotica produced the majority of songs on That Kid's debut mixtape, Crush, which was released in April 2020.[4]

A remix of "Yummy" with the song "Righteous" by Mo Beats, as well as Erotica's song "Juicy Couture", also found success on TikTok in late 2023 due to the virality of videos by influencer Sabrina Bahsoon on the London Underground in which they were featured.[8][9] Erotica returned to music under the name Ayesha Erotica with the collaborative single "Tongues" with Mel 4Ever in January 2024.[10] Erotica's song "Spread That Puss" was sampled in Doechii's song "Alter Ego", which was released in March 2024.[11][12]

Musical style[edit]

Pitchfork's Ashley Bardhan described Erotica as "a prolific hyperpop producer" whose music with Slayyyter was "half-joking and brashly sexual", while Cat Zhang of Pitchfork also identified her music as hyperpop and "airhead pop" and wrote that her "bubblegum tracks" contained "saucy, often scandalous quips" and "invocations of Juicy Couture and UGG boots".[6][7] Zhang also compared her music to Kesha's in the early 2010s, particularly her debut studio album Animal.[13] Katherine Gillespie described Erotica's music as "nostalgic and futuristic at the same time".[14] For PopMatters, Nick Malone called Erotica "an online underground legend with a formidable back-catalog of pop-rap bangers indebted to the music of the mid-2000s".[4] Steffanee Wang wrote for Nylon that Erotica was "Charli XCX-adjacent".[15]

Kim Petras and Aliyah's Interlude have named Erotica as an influence on their music.[16]
