From surviving nomadic cult life as a child, to mastering life on the road in pursuit of pop stardom during her teen years, Queeny King is no stranger to strange. Add to this, marrying into an iconic musical family and what you get is a surreal and esoteric existence that only someone with Queeny’s distinct pedigree can pull off.
The self-described pop anarchist has been pushing envelopes her whole life and now, on her latest single, “She Wants To Kill Me”, (SWTKM) she’s pushing up daisies.
Inspired by personal circumstances and a calling to end a lifetime of being silenced, the vibey track and it’s companion video tackle the topic of setting boundaries and the dangers that result when those boundaries are crossed. It’s a message of self-empowerment but also serves as the ultimate cautionary tale of what can happen when one sinister force (the enigmatic “she”) takes down the heroine (Queeny) in a modern day take of the classic Snow White. The video is laden with many religious relics reminiscent of Madonna’s “Like A Prayer”.
Though thematically dark, it’s also a bold statement piece that’s sure to spark a conversation. Now available on all streaming platforms, give it a listen and expect new music to follow soon.
“I’m an artist and I desperately needed to reclaim my voice and my artistry. The person that I was turning into was someone I couldn’t recognize and it was ‘killing me’. I hope this song connects with people and that it helps others who are going through similar struggles, while in toxic relationships.” –Queeny King
