Sohodolls release deliciously dark and high-drama goth-pop single 'Queen Of Spades'
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.
‘Queen Of Spades’ is out 17th May via Filthy Pretty/A&G Records.
