Don't Kill My Vibe is the debut extended play (EP) by Norwegian singer-songwriter Sigrid, released on 5 May 2017 through Island Records. The EP was supported by the release of two singles: the album's title track and "Plot Twist". Two songs featured on the album, the title track, and "Dynamite", were included on Sigrid's debut studio album, Sucker Punch (2019).

Background

Abigail Hyland of The Line of Best Fit wrote that the EP "[vocalises] a problem that’s been festering at the core of the music industry since its beginnings; for too long female artists have been subject to manipulation and oppression from men in positions of power".[2] Musically, Don't Kill My Vibe is a pop EP.[1]

Singles

"Don't Kill My Vibe", the EP's title track, was released as the lead single from the EP on 10 February 2017.[3] It was also included on the singer's debut EP of the same name.[4] Commercially, it reached number 28 in Norway,[5] as well as the top twenty in Scotland.[6]

"Plot Twist" was released as the second single from the EP on 14 July 2017.[7] The song has charted in Belgium, reaching number 44 on the Ultratip chart.[8]

Critical recepiton

Jason Lipshutz, writing for Billboard, called the EP "13 minutes of spectacular songwriting, four songs full of immediately charming hooks that wind their way toward bigger, more perfect choruses".[9]
