Review
King Princess arrives with "Girl Violence," a striking third offering that feels like stepping into a dimly lit gallery where every piece tells a story of transformation. The record weaves late-'90s electronica with reverb-heavy rock, creating an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and refreshingly current. Her voice glides effortlessly between sultry whispers and soaring melodic moments, like watching a master painter switch between delicate brushstrokes and bold gestures. The title track interrogates emotional complexity with the kind of sharp intelligence you'd expect from someone who understands that vulnerability and power often occupy the same space.
What makes this collection so captivating is how King Princess refuses to wallow in the expected heartbreak narrative. Instead, she approaches relationship turmoil with a kind of sophisticated swagger, turning pain into something that feels almost cinematic in its scope. The production maintains that polished, instinctual quality that marks the work of an artist who's found their visual and sonic language. "Girl Violence" reads like a perfectly curated exhibition where each track contributes to a larger conversation about identity, resilience, and the beautiful messiness of human connection. - Elodie
