Prima Queen enjoy simple pleasures with their new debut album teaser single, 'Sunshine Song'
Prima Queen release final single 'Sunshine Song' from upcoming debut album 'The Prize', ahead of European and UK tour dates.
Prima Queen have shared 'Sunshine Song', the final preview of their debut album 'The Prize', set for release via Submarine Cat Records.
The transatlantic duo, comprised of Louise Macphail and Kristin McFadden, have been building momentum through support slots with Everything Everything, alongside appearances at Glastonbury, SXSW and Pitchfork Paris. Their upcoming schedule includes in-store performances, a European tour, and their largest UK headline tour to date.
'The Prize', produced by Steph Marziano at London's Angelica Studios, follows previous singles 'Fool', 'Ugly', 'Oats' and the title track. The album, recorded in late 2023, draws influence from the band's extensive touring experience, including supports with Olivia Dean, Wet Leg and Whitney.
Speaking about 'Sunshine Song', the band say: "'Sunshine Song' was written at a time when everything felt quite overwhelming. When you're not feeling good it's tempting to stay in bed and hide from it all, but we found solace in the power of simple pleasures like going on a morning walk in the sunshine, having your head underwater in the swimming pool, or seeing patterns of light on the wall from your bedroom window. Sunshine is especially powerful in the first weeks of spring, after the relentless cold and darkness of the winter. Sometimes all you need is to hear a bird sing and it be light after 5pm to feel the serotonin rush back into your body :) 'Sunshine Song' is our antidote to the messy thoughts in our heads and acts as a mantra to return to the moment."
