The era begins with brand-new single ‘RIP KP’, which debuted with a performance on ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’, and is released alongside a music video directed by Warren Fu.

The new album ‘Girl Violence’ was made in collaboration with Jake Portrait (Lil Yachty, Alex G, Unknown Mortal Orchestra) and Aire Atlantica (SZA’s ‘Low’). It’s the sound of Straus picking up the pieces after her world fell apart – fighting for freedom, stepping back from the limelight and major label system, breaking up, moving away, returning to NYC.

“‘RIP KP’ is about the sexy side of girl violence – when love takes over your brain like a cordyceps and suddenly you’re getting f…ed all over your house, acting a fool,” King Princess says of the album’s lead single.

“It’s the perfect way to open the record: dramatic, unhinged, and a little tongue-in-cheek. I wrote it during a full ego death – leaving LA, my label, my old life – and somehow landed back in NYC making the music I would’ve obsessed over at 15. It’s a slutty anthem for the lesbians. We need debauchery this summer.”

Meanwhile, the Warren Fu-directed video finds King Princess in her own personal hell: a particularly demonic, extremely gay, afterlife limbo.
