Turn Off the Light (mixtape)

Turn Off the Light is the second mixtape by German singer Kim Petras. It was released on 1 October 2019 and originally through her own label, BunHead. The album was originally supposed to be released in two volumes, Turn Off the Light, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 – although it was ultimately released as a full-length album comprising the eight songs from the first volume and nine new songs recorded for the second volume.

Turn Off the Light was met with near-universal critical acclaim upon release. Critics praised the production, especially the dark and club-infused sound with elements like blood-curdling beats and demonic synths. Multiple tracks were highlighted by reviewers for their catchy melodies and spooky vibes. The album was seen as both danceable and thematically fitting for Halloween with its horror influences like haunted choirs and creepy sound effects. Petras' vocal performances were also praised by the majority of critics.
