“Princess Chelsea’s “Growing Older” is the doom ballad that maturity deserves” – FADER
Following the release of her fourth studio album The Loneliest Girl last month, New Zealand subversive pop artist Princess Chelsea (
“All of these shots i’ve included are particularly special moments with my grandparents, family and of course, my sister who is two years younger. It features my first instrument, a Yamaha keytar, which was left behind in a house we moved into when I was a kid. Also pictured are holidays at theme parks that capture the excitement but also frustration of being a teenager and feeling isolated. Sometimes you can feel trapped like the Orca’s at Seaworld but then excited to be riding the Wipeout!” – Princess Chelsea
Princess Chelsea’s The Loneliest Girl album, out now via Lil’ Chief Records, examines the loneliness and ultimately the artistic satisfaction a strong work ethic can bring. The result is this eclectic collection of pop songs. The Loneliest Girl captures moments of inspiration and madness, with lyrics that show Chelsea isn’t afraid to ask the deeper questions while still maintaining a playful nature about it all. “I can’t be bothered with subscribing to any kind of ‘sound,'” Chelsea says.
As well as sharing an album trailer similar to her recent video for ‘Wasting Time’, Chelsea shares an official fan video for the track ‘I Miss My Man’ directed by the same director, Anastasia Doniants. This time she uses footage from the 1976 Soviet movie Little Mermaid. As Chelsea explains, “Unlike the fairy tale we’re all used to the Russian version is really sad – she gives up her legs and voice for this prince but he doesn’t fall in love with her at the end. She gives up everything for him for one day and then it’s all over!”.
