The release date of Brooklyn pop artist King Princess’s second album has been revealed as July 29, with two of its new singles scheduled to drop ahead of time on June 8, according to Pitchfork. Another featured single, “For My Friends”, was dropped earlier this year. Hold On Baby follows the artist’s first album, Cheap Queen, which peaked at number 8 on US Heat, as well as her debut EP “Make My Bed”, which featured her Platinum-certified hit single “1950”.
King Princess also released a statement expressing gratitude for her fan’s support, writing “It’s not easy being alive and I feel indebted to you all for providing me air to breathe in this insane world. That’s what King Princess has always been about at its core. Making a home for us to feel safe and weird and messy and imperfect. You are not alone in your feelings. I bet you I feel and have felt the same.”
The artist is known for her social justice advocacy, as well as her LGBTQ+ rights activism and inclusion. She is also popular for her unique sound, which is a mix of pop, rock, and R&B. Her unique and funky style has been praised by critics and fans alike.
