A track that defies convention and pigeon-holes genre states, La Leurentop shares her new single “Queen,” arriving as a highlight from the second half of the artist's mirrored double album, Fragments in the Basement of My Mind (Side B: The Emergence). The track is an essential expression of the musician's unique and deliberately imperfect aesthetic. Full of sexuality, groove and songwriting guile.
"I love that 'Queen' is embarrassingly sentimental. That's the point. It's honest about wanting to be cherished, and I think that emotional honesty is the most rebellious thing you can bring to love" – La LEURENTOP
La LEURENTOP—the Belgian-American, UK-based artist—rejects the trend of algorithmic perfection, instead building her music from two decades of "recovered voice memos, unfinished demos, and raw recordings." This process results in a distinct, quirky style that is intensely human, highlighting “the breath, the texture, distortion, and the moment a feeling arrives before it’s explained.”
“Queen,” as part of the “Emergence” side, inherently carries a message of empowerment, relating to the album’s theme of “the decision to stop shrinking to fit someone else’s frame”
