It’s not always easy to express yourself in a song. It takes courage, boldness and a deep-rooted willingness to let the outside world in. Queen Bitch seems fully committed to do that, penning two empowering, anthemic pieces steeped in resilience and introspective lyricism. The fiery Irish rising star finds fertile territories in melancholic and fuzzy grunge goodness, maintaining a raw, upfront roaring character that’s sharp, yet expressive.
Titled ‘Even If I Pray’ and ‘A Popular Song’ (technically a B-side), the singles reveals the elelectrifying attitude Queen Bitch has to offer. Both tracks do a good job of alternating between reflective, melodic sections and more chaotic, heavier moments. It’s a dualism that mirrors the overarching ethos behind the Dublin-based songstress: navigating darkness and painful change with pride and bravery, Queen Bitch thrives in emotional chiaroscuro, an aural and literary universe that’s bittersweet and nuanced.
Known as Róisín Bohan by day, the gifted artist teamed up with producer David Virgin at Beardfire Studios, crafting a wholesome, no-frills record that drives a cathartic and euphoric listening experience. Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Queen Bitch expains: “Two thunderous grunge anthems of reckoning and rebirth, exploring the inevitability of change.”
