Introducing "Natalia Kills", The Perfectionist and Love Kills Natalia then came up with a stage name of Natalia Kills. She took on a darker sounding pop music, not heard much in todays music. Kills' first music video as Natalia Kills, entitled "Zombie" was unveiled on 29 October 2009 on the official Cherrytree Records website. It is a promo single for her upcoming debut album, Perfectionist, which will be released by Cherrytree Records in 2010. Kills has also produced and co-directed a film, Love Kills xx, which has been made concurrently with the album, specifically so that they will synchronise, the album acting as the soundtrack to the film. She describes Perfectionist as a concept album, writing all her own lyrics and working with producers Jeff Bhasker, Fernando Garibay, Akon among others. "Love Kills xx" first aired on April 26, 2010 on Cherrytree Records website, and currently an episode airs each Monday on the site. The film has seen Kills killing a boyfriend, being captured by "Far East Movement" in the desert. Also, "Zombie" and a song titled "Love is a Suicide" has premiered on the film, with more expected to appear as the film continues. It is unknown when the film is set to finish airing, but it is rumoured to stop once the first single or album is released, although it could continue for the foreseeable future.
