Ava Max Is A Royal Guitar Hero In 'Kings & Queens' Video

Earlier this month, Ava Max teased her "Kings & Queens" visual by telling MTV News that it could be "very eye catching, super fun, crazy dancing, as well as a big celebration. Imagine a rainbow being in a music video." Right now, we finally get to be able to see that grandiose vision in full — the eye catching clip arrived on Friday (March 27) to show us exactly "how a real queen behaves."


The vid opens on Ava playfully wielding a sword between her legs as she assumes her golden throne. As she sings about raising a toast to females everywhere, we visualize her throwing a rowdy, champagne-fueled feast indoor her glamorous palace, before leading her loyal subjects in a killer dance sequence. They even bust out some electric axes for that pre-bridge hair metal guitar solo (as only real queens can do).


"Kings & Queens" is Ava's first solo release of 2020 and the official lead single for her upcoming debut album. She recently instructed us that the anthem sets the tone for the rest of the project, explaining, "It's such a celebration track that begins the album with a bang. It really reflects the time and feels like a good introduction."


She continued, "I want people to hear the album once they're going to the health club and feel motivated, or once they're maybe wanting to get hired for a certain job and so they wish to be feel empowered. I think that's really what the feel of the album is."
