Candid, involving and full of character, Prima Queen’s music has become a world unto itself. The songs of Louise Macphail and Kristin McFadden play like a love letter to the radical power of friendship; to the fans who have reveled in the band’s bitingly charismatic storytelling. Listening to their glorious debut LP The Prize (due spring 2025 via Submarine Cat Records), you want to crawl up inside all of its effusive, empathic melodies and bathe in the warmth of the enviable bond at the record’s core.
Described, accurately, by McFadden as an album that “screams empowerment and strength,” The Prize uses the pair’s fateful connection as a North Star for their shared journey towards growth. Tapping into the shimmering pop sensibilities of HAIM and Jenny Lewis, an openness of spirit defines these 12 tracks, partly inspired by the euphoria Prima Queen experienced on stage over the past year while touring with Olivia Dean, Dream Wife and Swim Deep. It’s here where the band establish themselves as astute, refreshingly frank songwriters, articulating supersized feelings with grace and wit.
