"Queen" by Starling will make you feel like royalty, with an emboldening message of hope that helps you appreciate how wonderful a person you are. When you break life down into a collection of milestones and achievements, treating it like a checklist, you may forget to appreciate the reality of yourself. Lyrics like "it's not what you've done, it's who you've become" are an inspiring reminder not to value your accomplishments more highly than your true identity. Combining self-love with words of perseverance, the lyrics say "even the longest nights give way." Look forward to the days ahead as you carry the uplifting perspective this song has to offer.
This track has an extremely profound sound with Starling's distinctly soulful vocals and slow piano. Such strength reverberates through the lyrics and the vocals that the simplicity of the instrumentals only adds to the heartfelt intention of the message. Starling's singing throughout the verse carries a powerful breathiness in low notes, with a depth slightly reminiscent of Amy Winehouse. Her voice builds metasomatically higher, bringing an empowering feeling to the encouraging lyrics. With an emotional and enlightening sound, this is an ideal track for your feel-good playlists.
