King Princess

Leather pants, guitar smash, and a tittie flash can mean only one thing: King Princess is coming to town. Mikaela Straus, the 21-year-old Brooklynite who makes personal and seductive genderqueer pop as King Princess, accomplished the following in 2019: she released her debut record, Cheap Queen, performed on Saturday Night Live, and appeared on mastermind hitmaker Mark Ronson’s latest record, Late Night Feelings, on which King Princess channels a disco-drenched Perfume Genius meets Haim on “Pieces of Us.” Most recently, well, aside from the viral Twitter videos of a recent performance at L.A.’s Wiltern Theater during which King Princess smashes a guitar, throws it into the drum kit, and then flashes the audience, she’s been pegged to open for beautiful pop angel Harry Styles during his European tour later this year.
