King Princess Makes Rock Her Kingdom In 'Ohio'

King Princess has figured out the art of the tease. She's released the wildly old-timey video for "Ohio" today. The song is actually out right now officially, nevertheless fans have been hearing her perform it since the release of her 2018 EP, Make My Bed. Everyone's routinely wondered as soon as the track could be out in excellent and, right now, it's finally here. Equal parts soul, blues, funk, and pyrokinesis, King Princess's "Ohio" will melt your smartphone, vehicle speaker, and whichever other listening devices are in the immediate vicinity.


I said this clip as a video up top, although it isn't really in the long-established sense. It's more of a unraveling of King Princess's psyche in real-time on stage. It begins off with the singer in retro garb, wooing the audience of an intimate venue with "Ohio"'s warm and emotional initial. "How's it been in Ohio, babe?/ Do you think about me/ When you're going residence she sings to a partner. The song's about King Princess missing her lovely girlfriend who's moved and abandoned her alone. Alternatively opposed to wallowing in her misery though, King Princess flips a switch, turning this initially whispering gem into an explosion of sounds, colors, moods, and voices.


Once the song changes into a screaming contest for guitars, the video changes also. King Princess sheds her hair and we're shown her gigantic efficiency on a stage through speedily changing cameras and lights flashing as fast as possible. This fiery show features her laying on the stage, seemingly overwhelmed by the sheer chaos of the moment. And just any time as soon as you think it's over, she jumps back up and the lights kick up the intensity. Guitars get smashed and drum sets get destroyed. There aren't also several words that can describe the proper beastliness of the moment other than the fact that it's fucking awesome.


"Ohio" is set to appear on the deluxe edition of King Princess's debut studio album, Cheap Queen, that's set to come out on Valentine's Day. Billboard reports that the new version of the LP will feature unreleased songs like "Best Friend," "Back of a Cab," "All Dressed in White," and more.
