KING PRINCESS’ DEBUT ALBUM CHEAP QUEEN DUE THIS FALL ON ZELIG/COLUMBIA RECORDS

Rising pop star King Princess’ highly anticipated debut album, “Cheap Queen,” is due this fall on Zelig/Columbia Records. Today, the multi-instrumentalist and singer premieres a new song “Prophet” taken from the forthcoming album—listen here.

Previously released album tracks include the critically acclaimed “Cheap Queen” and the interlude “Useless Phrases.” NPR praises, “For King Princess, a 20-year-old who’s currently blooming into a queer icon, ‘Cheap Queen’ has it all.”

King Princess also confirms today a North American headline tour this fall that includes stops at New York’s Terminal 5, DC’s 9:30 Club, Los Angeles’ The Wiltern and many more. See below for the full list of dates. This year has already seen King Princess grace festival stages at Coachella, Governors Ball, Glastonbury and more.

“Cheap Queen” follows a breakout 2018 for King Princess. Her debut single, an ode to untold queer histories titled “1950,” became an overnight smash hit with over 250 million streams to date, while her debut EP, “Make My Bed”, was released to widespread critical acclaim. Since the release, King Princess has gone to collaborate with Fiona Apple for the reimagining of “I Know” earlier this year and share the critically acclaimed “Pussy Is God” which has streamed over 17 million times to date.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, King Princess is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. The product of a musical family, she spent much of her childhood tinkering on the vintage Neve board in her father’s Brooklyn studio, learning guitar and piano along the way. King Princess’ debut album is set to for release this year.
