hmv's Next Big Thing... #182 King Princess

Every Wednesday we recommend a brand new artist who we think you're going to love. This week we bring you dreamy ingenue King Princess...

 

Who Is She?

King Princess is 19-year-old New Yorker, Mikaela Straus. After a score of excellent early singles, she's now signed up to Mark Ronson's Zelig and preparing her debut album. 

 

What Does She Sound Like?

Take the dreamy soundscapes of Imogen Heap and mix it with the sass and power of Aaliyah, that's King Princess. 

 

Why Should I Be Excited?

Between Strauss's gorgeous voice, lush production and dreamy choruses, there's a lot to invest in. 

 

Can I Hear Something?

Of course. You can hear her new jam 'Talia' below now:
