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.

Kingdom Kome drops new videos for Arepa Y Manteca LP

Published

on

Miami, FL Lyricist & Veteran MC Kingdom Kome goes to Colombia to fill his sweet tooth in a new double video and single(s) drop for “Mantecon” and “Arepa Mantecon.”  The video (was filmed by Franco Imagemaker and Edited by David Sakolsky of Gusto Gold Productions)was shot on location in Medellin, which is also the home turf of producer The Equation Beats.  

This is the first drop from the forthcoming full-length collaboration between the two entitled Arepa Y Manteca.  Named for a traditional Colombian delicacy, according to Argentinian born Kingdom Kome “we decided to keep the project real paisa, which means countryman.  This includes most of the album collaborators Colombian RawAjaxLo & CTraffik.”  

Other album guests will include Che Uno, Sunez Allah and ParaNoize and the result is ominous instrumentals and grimy beats clashing with disrespectful lyrics in two languages.

Watch the official video for “Mantecon/Arepa Mantecon” here: 

The genesis of this album grew out of a track that The Equation Beats produced for the duo project of Kingdom Kome & Che Uno known as Los Chicos Criollos featuring Crimeapple.

Based on the strength of that song, Kingdom Kome and The Equation Beats kept it moving and lo and behold Arepa Y Manteca is on the way!  In addition to the recent full-length drop D10S Sucio of Los Chicos Criollos, Kingdom Kome is also promoting Dirty Linens, a fully collaborative project with Brockton, MA’s G Fam Black.
