Don't Kill My Vibe is the debut extended play (EP) by Norwegian singer-songwriter Sigrid, released on 5 May 2017 through Island Records.

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] Commercially, it reached number 28 in Norway,[4] as well as the top twenty in Scotland.[5]

"Plot Twist" was released as the second single from the EP on 14 July 2017.[6] The song has charted in Belgium, reaching number 44 on the Ultratip chart.[7]

Critical reception[]

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".[8]
