During the past year, King Princess has been rising since her song “1950” became an LGBTQ+ anthem. Musicians Harry Styles and Halsey both publicly expressed a liking to the song and it helped King Princess gain many new fans.

On November 2nd, King Princess released a new track titled, “Pussy is God,” which is supposed to give us some insight into her possibly-forthcoming album. She also released a music video to go along with the song. This is her first release after released her EP “Make My Bed” in April of this year. As always, King Princess releases her funnily titled track with confidence. Although a seemingly silly name, the song is filled with love and passion, with a tender desire for someone. Jumping from her singles “Talia” and “1950,” this one seems more danceable and was written by King Princess, along with her  singer/songwriter girlfriend (as the public knows it), Amanda Stenberg.

The video features Wild West vibes, according to Vogue. Creative Director of the video, Claire Gillen, reveals that the video’s visuals reminded her of the iconic tornado scene from The Wizard of Oz due to the objects flying around King Princess. The Kansas aesthetic before Dorothy gets to Oz is just the tone that Gillen was in search of for beginning of the video.

The video features King Princess playing bass guitar and seemingly floating and dancing with a flying toaster alongside her friends. It has a taste of ‘90s nostalgia and is green-screen heavy. The references themes from her first single, “1950,” and it captures queer expression.

“You know that it’s God, baby, when you’re around her
I’ve been praying for hours
You know that it’s God, baby, when you’re around her
She’s God and I’ve found her, oh”

King Princess is known for advocating for LGBT rights and her songs explore lesbian relationships. She is also in a public relationship with singer/songwriter Stenberg who fans adore together.

The 19-year-old mixes influences of blues-pop, some hip-hop, and different vocal samples throughout her music. She recently confirmed a 2018-2019 tour.
