Month: July 2025

Mikaela Straus is starring in the new season of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers at the moment, but she also has a new King Princess album to roll out. She announced Girl Violence and shared the lead single “RIP KP” in June, and now she has another single out now, “Cry Cry Cry.”

Straus says of the song, “‘Cry Cry Cry’” is about a friendship with a lady that did not work out. Sometimes two divas create an explosion.”

She previously said of the album:

“Girl violence is very sneaky. It’s not physical, it’s deeply emotional, spiritual, and spooky. Women are both amazing and sinister — including myself — and it’s my curiosity to understand all the love, loss, and changes that come out of my love for women. Why are we so inclined to cause and receive chaos? If you’ve experienced even an iota of it, then you’ll have a story to tell. And these are mine.”

Water From Your Eyes, the duo of Nate Amos and Rachel Brown, announced their upcoming album It’s A Beautiful Place recently and shared the lead single “Life Signs.” As the project approaches its August release, the two have offered another preview, the infectiously fun “Playing Classics.”

Amos says of the song, “Playing Classics started as an attempt to transform an existing guitar piece that I had stalled on into a dance number after Rachel requested that the next album have a disco song on it – the original version was 12 minutes long.” Brown adds, “It was probably my favorite instrumental that Nate sent so it was my favorite to work on lyrically. I love disco and dance music and I had been begging him to make a super dance targeted track. I was focusing on the idea of dancing in a club despite the world falling apart outside. It was written during Brat Summer, so Charli definitely had an influence.”

Watch the “Playing Classics” video above. Below, find the It’s A Beautiful Place cover art and tracklist, as well as Water From Your Eyes’ upcoming tour dates.
