King Princess is back with her new single, “Cry Cry Cry.” “Cry Cry Cry.” The song aim at fake friends, queer-baiters, and anyone who ever made her feel small. “”Cry Cry Cry” is about a friendship with a lady that did not work out,” explains Straus. “Sometimes two divas create an explosion.” The single follows the announcement of her forthcoming record Girl Violence, available September 12th via Section1.

Girl Violence was made with Jake Portrait (Lil Yachty, Alex G, Unknown Mortal Orchestra), and Aire Atlantica (breakthrough: SZA’s “Low”), this new King Princess record is the sound of Straus picking up the pieces after her world fell apart – fighting for freedom, stepping back from the limelight and major label system, breaking up, moving away, and returning to NYC where she was born and raised. Through it all, she somehow found the agency and creative spirit to fight the misconceptions and create the album she was destined to make, in a potent return to self.

King Princess, will hit the road behind Girl Violence, starting October 3rd at Austin City Limits in Austin, Texas, other dates include a show in her hometown of New York City at Brooklyn Paramount, as well as The Wiltern in Los Angeles.

Girl Violence arrives in the midst of Mikaela Straus’ television debut, as she stars in the current season of Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu, alongside Nicole Kidman. Later this year, she will make her feature film debut in Song Sung Blue, an upcoming movie starring Hugh Jackman & Kate Hudson. King Princess, has collaborated with Fiona Apple, Florence Welch, Aaron Dessner, Mark Ronson, and Father John Misty.
