“Starcrossed” is the latest single from emerging alt-pop artist, Kings Elliot, released on March 21, 2025. The dreamy track narrates the ending of a love that was never meant to be. It takes inspiration from the 1950s, blending contemporary sound with a retro style. Fans of artists like Laufey and Madison Beer, you will be drawn in by the way that she masterfully blends nostalgic and modern influences into heartfelt ballads, emotional vocals shining through. Whether you are stuck in a star-crossed relationship or not, this track about losing a love that was doomed from the start is definitely a must-listen.
On “Starcrossed,” Elliot crafts a theatrical ballad about love, loss, and longing. Her strength in poetic, emotional lyricism stands out with lines like “Call it a curse / Or a fault in the sky / But we’ll never get to decide,” “Tortured by desire / As our love dies in the open / Promised we’d survive / But our words fade as they’re spoken,” and “But we’re built just to break apart / I know we’ve already lost / It’s not us, we’re just starcrossed.” She takes us as listeners through accepting the inevitability of her ill-fated relationship meeting its end. This sentiment is backed by lush vocals and vintage sonic influences.
Kings Elliot is a London-based artist, born in Switzerland. Her music is a catharsis for exploring her personal thoughts and fears, especially with her battles with borderline personality disorder, depression, and anxiety. She crafts immersive worlds that welcomes anyone in search of a place to belong. Her first release, “I’m Getting Tired of Me,” came out in 2020. Since then, she has amassed over 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify alone. If you enjoyed “Starcrossed,” make sure to check out the rest of her discography.
