Princess Superstar Celebrates ‘Gettin’ Older’ On New Single
American electronic/hip-hop sensation Princess Superstar releases her latest single ‘Gettin’ Older (P**** Still Pop!)’, 20 years on from her smash hit ‘Bad Babysitter’ which propelled Princess Superstar into the limelight, garnering a top 10 single in the UK and extensive coverage across British media from the likes of The Independent and British Vogue to airplay on Top of the Pops.
20 years on and Princess Superstar has grown up, turning from a ‘Bad Babysitter’ to a mum herself. ‘Gettin’ Older (P**** Still Pop!)’ is a reflection of this. The track is a rallying call for all older women that ageing doesn’t have to be scary. It looks to inspire women to be comfortable in their own skin, owning their age, and encouraging them to have as much fun as possible in the process. Princess Superstar conveys this in the only way she knows how, with provocative lyrics and sharp wit to expertly get her point across. The accompanying video encompasses her well known eclectic personality with clever references to pop culture and films (American Beauty, Mean Girls and Flashdance!) as well as recreations of her past hit videos, ‘Perfect’ and ‘Bad Babysitter’.
Princess Superstar on the track “ I wrote this song because I just turned 50 and realised there are zero songs about ageing and being hot! Youth culture is the only thing that is really celebrated in our culture, so I wanted to reverse that and talk about how amazing it is to age. I am wiser and have lived through so much, so let’s celebrate that! I also wanted to inspire women that their p**** can still pop at any age.”
Having been in the industry for 25 years now Princess Superstar has an impressive résumé, with two UK top 20’s under belt including ‘Bad Babysitter’ and ‘Perfect Exceeder’ and collaborations with a variety of musicians and producers that few can rival. To name a few: Armand Van Helden, Moby, Kool Keith, Prince Paul of De La Soul, Chilly Gonzales, DJ Hell, The Prodigy (she was featured on their album which went to #1 in the UK,). With no hint of slowing down, the bad babysitter turned mum still has plenty to say!

Music Review: HeIsTheArtist’s “Sympathy Sonata (Rock Rhapsody)”
Contemporary Christian R&B artist HeIsTheArtist is making waves yet again with his new jazz-rock single, “Sympathy Sonata (Rock Rhapsody).” Scheduled to be released on May 24th, 2024, the track is a part of his upcoming rock album set for release later this year.
HeIsTheArtist, renowned for his unique melding of Christian R&B with modern melodies and rhythms, continues to delve deeper into his craft with this single. Inspired by the legendary Queen song “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Sympathy Sonata (Rock Rhapsody)” explores self-reflection themes and the conflict between self-pity and the need for personal growth and healing.
From the opening lines, the song is suffused with raw emotion. It resonates with the listener’s profound lyrical depth, drawing from the melancholic line “I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy” from Queen’s masterpiece.
The lyrics reflect a day in the life of someone wrestling with internal struggles – a universal experience made even more relatable through the artist’s venturous exploration of his sound. The song encapsulates the spectrum of human emotion, from sorrow and frustration to fatigue and resilience.
HeIsTheArtist’s vocal delivery is both powerful and sensitive. The pitch and tone convey the song’s core sentiment, making each word feel personal and affecting.
In an interview, HeIsTheArtist revealed that this song is intended to promote self-reflection in listeners, especially during times when falling into a state of self-pity seems easier than facing the problem and healing from it. This intention is beautifully captured throughout the track.
His commitment to maintaining his faith’s message is revealed in his music, giving it an additional layer of depth and making it a source of strength and solace for many listeners.
“Sympathy Sonata (Rock Rhapsody)” is a testament to HeIsTheArtist’s continued growth as an artist and his exploration of broader musical themes while remaining grounded in his Christian roots. The upcoming release of his full-length rock EP, as hinted by the artist, will undoubtedly continue this trend.
In a world where superficiality often dominates, HeIsTheArtist’s earnest exploration of human emotion and spiritual themes serves as a breath of fresh air. His music reaches out, offering understanding and solace in turbulent times. “Sympathy Sonata (Rock Rhapsody)” is a splendid addition to his discography and an exciting hint at what’s to come in his forthcoming rock album.
