Neo-Soul Artist queen mars Shares the Video For Her Single “Queen of Hearts”
Born in Chicago, queen mars is a singer-songwriter who marries together her eclectic life experiences and synesthesia to create melodic stories she describes as Kaleidoscope Pop: complex lyrics and colorful sounds.
Raised on Kirk Franklin and Beyonce, queen mars bridges the uplifting tones of gospel with the rawness of early 2000’s Pop/R&B and applies it to her femininity in an effort to break out of the conservative mold created for her. Many of her songs have sexual undertones representing the suppressiveness of her sexuality she experienced growing up.
queen mars has just released the music video for her song “Queen of Hearts” and is currently working on the release of her upcoming EP due next year.
In discussing the song, queen mars shares: “I used to think being a woman in a man’s world was a huge disadvantage because internal qualities are often overlooked in favor of surface level desires. Then I realized someone else’s inability to see below the surface is a weakness on their part and I wanted to explore the traditional power dynamic between male and female because I feel it is, and has always been mislabeled.”
She continues “this video explores the dichotomy of being overlooked for attributes you want to highlight and praised for the characteristics you want to hide. Its inspiration stems from my personal experiences as well as the experiences of my peers.”
