King Princess Is A Channel-Surfing 'Cheap Queen' In Her Quirky New Video

There's good news and bad news about King Princess's new video for the downbeat anthem "Cheap Queen." The good: it's total surreal fun, recalling the retro-style visuals for her breakout hit "1950" and the fabulously cheesy "Pussy Is God." The bad: she doesn't actually "make a grown man cry" on screen, despite what her lyrics recommend. Nevertheless what the vid lacks in adult male tears, it comprises of for with charming quirkiness.


The fun starts with a new interlude, "Useless Phrases," which King Princess sings to a sandwich while floating by way of the clouds. Turns out, that scene is segment of a goofy TV show she's watching, and she unenthusiastically flips through more streams while sprawling out on an oversized sofa. The 20-year-old plays a couple of different characters that pop up on the cartoonish TV, each more animated than the last. Her channel-surfing antics end with an aesthetics queen contest where she's, needless to say, crowned the inexpensive Queen" while dryly asserting, "I'm getting also cocky since each person wants me." Damn right.


"Cheap Queen" is the lead single from King Princess's upcoming debut album, which follows her 2018 EP, Make My Bed. She hasn't reported a title or release date however, however here's hoping KP has more music proposed for the rest of 2019. She's right, soon after all: each person wants her.
