King Princess, the 19-year old indie pop queer icon from Brooklyn, NY released her new video last night. The single Pussy Is God is a spellbound hymn to praise her one true love: women.
For those of you who don’t know, King Princess blew up when Harry Styles tweeted about her single 1950 back in March. A day after that tweet, the lyric page for 1950 increased by 700%. Newly signed by Zelig Records, she is not a newbie. She chose to get a high school education over a record deal offered at the ripe age of 11. Her track plays on ideas of historical gender roles and unrequited love in the LGBT community.
Watch her break down 1950 and win your heart here.
Her debut EP Make My Bed is 15 minutes of daydreamy pop to fulfill your head with catchy guitar licks and soothing lyrics.
Her second single Talia mimics all those times you were traipsing through house parties tipsy, hoping to see the “one that got away”. It’s got the kind of chorus that has you singing at the top of your lungs in your Uber at 2 am.
But four drinks I’m wasted
I can see you dancing, I can lay down next to you
At the foot of my bed
If I drink enough
I can taste your lipstick, I can lay down next to you
But it’s all in my head
If I drink enough I swear that I will wake up next to you
The rest of the EP is like a well-written journal of a love story and the turbulence that is included when falling in and out of love.
With dreamy pastel-filled visuals reminiscent of the Talia video, Pussy Is God seems to fit the soft grunge swagger-filled aesthetic that only King Princess can achieve. Riding in on her gold soaked outfit and dewy skin she might just bring you your sexual awakening. Her lyrics are clever but sweet, soft with the right amount of confidence.
They say it gets hard when you’re getting up
Been knocked down from some other love
But their best wasn’t good enough
And you’re number one to me
Forget the knight in shining armor, she’s changing the game by liberating pop music. Now, we know why she is both the King and the Princess.
