More about: King Princess

King Princess has released the video for sexy pop banger ‘Prophet’ and it’s a gender role-flipping headfuck keeping fans satisfied ahead of Cheap Queen, the debut LP due for release in autumn.

In the visuals, we follow King Princess from setting to setting as she’s stalked by a distant fan. 

The soulful pop artist makes American football a woman’s sport, while her admirer observes from the bleachers. Then, to a seedy club where a group of baby boomers are enjoying a sit-down meal as King Princess croons.

Past a red-lit backroom and into the kitchen, where the aforementioned admirer is baking King Princess into a human size cake. Oh, and there’s a stop-off at a building site first, too. 

‘Prophet’ jumps from one vaguely-sinister scenario to the next, reaching its apogee on the restaurant table, where our heroine is being sliced up and fed to a table of older men - a metaphor, perhaps, for the rabid consumption of lesbian porn by white cis men, and the violence that comes with it.

The song is a keys and bass-led ballad that slinks through an overtly sexy chorus and crooning verses. It’s the second taste of forthcoming LP Cheap Queen, which is expected in the middle of her extended American tour, listed in full below.
