Vevo surprise dropped a brand new special spotlighting the making of KP's music video for RIP KP.
...on behalf of all lesbians, thank you!
KP said:
“‘RIP KP’ is about the sexy side of girl violence – when love takes over your brain like a cordyceps and suddenly you’re getting fucked all over your house, acting a fool. It’s the perfect way to open the record: dramatic, unhinged, and a little tongue-in-cheek. I wrote it during a full ego death – leaving LA, my label, my old life – and somehow landed back in NYC making the music I would’ve obsessed over at 15. It’s a slutty anthem for the lesbians. We need debauchery this summer.
“Girl violence is very sneaky. It’s not physical, it’s deeply emotional, spiritual, and spooky. Women are both amazing and sinister — including myself — and it’s my curiosity to understand all the love, loss, and changes that come out of my love for women. Why are we so inclined to cause and receive chaos? If you’ve experienced even an iota of it, then you’ll have a story to tell. And these are mine.”
From her new label, Section 1:
"Girl Violence is the third album from New York artist King Princess (Mikaela Straus), marking her most personal and unapologetic work to date. Written after walking away from a long-term relationship, a major label deal, and a city that dulled her spark, the album captures the chaos, clarity, and catharsis of starting over.
Across bold pop anthems and intimate confessionals, Straus explores the nuanced, messy and magnetic dynamics of loving women. The result is a record that’s emotionally feral, sonically fearless, and deeply self-assured.
Since her breakout with “1950” - a Platinum-certified anthem with over a billion streams - King Princess has carved out a singular space in modern pop. On Girl Violence, she turns the page, taking full creative control and delivering her most striking and uncompromising vision yet."

King Princess played the whole of her upcoming new album, Girl Violence, live to fans lucky enough to attend her impromptu show at Market Hall, Brooklyn on Wed 4 June!
She slayed! Watch clips on Youtube recorded by a wonderful fan, Iron Chef Wong.
Setlist:
At the end of the show, she "died' during RipKP by drinking a concoction with rat poison, at the hands of her arch-nemesis, Cherry, and had to be carted off stage by sexy nurses in drag.
Her life (and resurrection?) will be celebrated at her Bazongas album launch show on 6 June!
