Sohodolls release dramatic new single ‘Queen Of Spades’

Published

on

Striking new Sohodolls single ‘Queen Of Spades’, opens with a sinister mystical choral chant, then explodes with pounding, glitchy synths, driven by fast-paced rhythms and with Maya Von Doll’s seductive vocals luring the listener into a web of thick gothic gloss.

“This song is about me imagining what being powerful feels like and what turbo-vengeance might look like after a series of betrayals by your lover, court and friends.” explains Von Doll. “I love medieval history. The stories of Anne Boleyn and her daughter Elizabeth are fascinating. They were both underdogs. Their intelligence was underestimated, and they both had their hearts messed with. I think everyone can relate to that”, she further explains.

The track continues the recent Sohodolls resurgence, after their 00s single ‘Bang Bang Bang Bang’ became an unexpected viral TikTok hit among Gen Z glitterati when Madonna posted a recording of her daughter Estere Ciccone performing her own original choreography to the track. The track rocketed up the Billboard Top 50 and is now sitting on over 200m streams across platforms with the band being inspired to reform and drop a string of tantalising new singles.

Recent Sohodolls releases like ‘Letter To My Ex (Thank You Goodbye)’ and latest single ‘What Kinda Love’ have picked up considerable press & radio attention, including airplay from Nels Hylton on Radio 1’s ‘Future Alternative’, Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio and features with highly regarded music blog Atwood Magazine. 

‘Queen Of Spades’, which was produced by Otabek Salamov (aka NEEDSHES), shows Sohodolls once again delivering high-quality and unpredictable music to be reckoned with. ‘Queen Of Spades’ is a deliciously dark and high-drama track, that takes influence from Led Zeppelin for its hard-hitting guitar riff, but with techno beats and sprinkles of UK garage and drum and bass, all doused in ultra-feminine sweet and catchy vocals.

Long-time listeners to Kingdom Kome’s projects will notice that he has unlocked a new chamber lyrically in this release.  The emcee said “It’s a more spiritually focused album.  I wanted to touch on a lot more esoteric and occult sciences on this one.” This extends to the subtitle Ein Sof which in terms of Kabbalah (the ancient Hebrew mystical practice that explores the nature of God and the Universe) which translates as “the endless one.”  As Kingdom Kome states “there’s breadcrumbs throughout the album for people to do their own research.
