DivaGurl, A Story By: Keke Palmer EP Released

Keke Palmer takes girl group lore and comedy to the next level in her latest music project DivaGurl, drawing inspiration from iconic girl groups of the ’90s and 2000s. DivaGurl is described by Palmer herself as a fusion of old-school R&B and contemporary pop inspirations.

“I am really excited for the world to get to experience the universe of DivaGurl and the force that is Keyana. I love to be creative in all ways at all times, and merging my music with my movies has been a whole new and thrilling opportunity for me,” mentions Keke.

The music production from the EP draws inspiration from iconic girl group hits like Destiny’s Child’s “So Good” (“S.O.B.”) and 3LW’s “No More” (“Leave Me Alone”). It also incorporates modern styles heard in tracks like “Afford It” and “Rock With You,” which are featured in Palmer’s new films One of Them Days and The Pickup, respectively. Keke leans into what some might call “Empire music” — tracks created specifically for synchronization and licensed for TV & Film, resulting in an upbeat listening experience from start to finish.

The deluxe edition will be packaged as a comedy album that sequences the music with comedy skits. These comedic interludes depict Keke as Keyana (DivaGurl’s lead singer) in hilarious skits that build upon the storylines established in “DivaGurl”, the fictional reality show currently streaming on her media network KeyTV. Keyana is a satirical take on reality TV stars and Love & Hip Hop-style personalities, such as K. Michelle, Kandi Burruss, and Tamar Braxton—the latter 2 being fellow girl group alumni. DivaGirl chronicles Keyana’s chaotic ascent to stardom, using the group as a launchpad for her solo career. Aesthetically DivaGurl’s style draws from a fusion of girl group icons, as much of the group’s artwork serves as a reimagining of iconic album covers of TLC, Destiny’s Child, and the Pussycat Dolls. Igniting an exciting new era of girl group lore and entertaining a whole new generation through music, fashion, and comedy.
