On the new track, Scene Queen shares:
“I wrote “Whips & Chains” about the fear of being a woman at a bar. The song is about a group of women coming together and fighting back against a man who spikes drinks. I really wanted to showcase my crazy side lyrically and go a little unhinged and angry with it, and it ended up becoming one of my favourite moments from the record. I write music as a form of relief and having it get a second life from people relating to it after it’s written is the goal so although songs like this are often hard to write, I can’t wait to get to scream along with it to anyone who relates.”
The punchy, sexually-empowered new record is full of 15 tracks that will have you fixated the whole way through up to the closing track, “Climax.” Yes, Scene Queen aka Hannah Collins is punnier than ever on the new record, but she also reaches a new level of depth with hard-hitting collabs from Wargasm and 6arelyhuman. Most of all, she’s moving the needle for sexual empowerment forward and demolishing misogynists along the way.
Of the upcoming record, Scene Queen shares:
“I wrote an album about growing up in the early 2000s but not exploring my sexuality until my 20s with all the messy and chaotic situations you find yourself in when you’re trying to find yourself and your own power.”
Scene Queen has just wrapped up her support slot touring with Pvris on their UK run, and will be returning to perform at Download Festival on Friday 14th June. She’s also been nominated for a Heavy Music Award for the second year running, in the Best Breakthrough Live Artist category. You can vote here. https://www.heavymusicawards.com/
“Whips and Chains” follows on from the pink clad metalcore queen’s latest singles “Stuck (Ft. 6arelyhuman),” “Finger,” “Milf,” “Pink Push Up Bra,” her most angsty yet, and the viral track “18+,” which called out sexual abuse in the music industry and holds up a lens to the male gaze. With her latest string of female power anthems, Scene Queen is making her voice heard and reinventing the male-dominated metal music scene.

More from Scene Queen:
Scene Queen (AKA Hannah Collins) is not here to be quiet, and she is not here to apologise. With lyrics that come for the throat of misogynists and genre purists, Collins is not afraid to disrupt the peace. Don’t be fooled by Scene Queen’s colourful pink image. She’s as fierce as she is vibrant, with angst packed between every punchy lyric. Scene Queen is the epitome of the new emo scene. A new scene where everyone is welcome. Her music shows the cracks in society and breaks down the walls we put up everyday. To show that although this new scene may look different, we are all pink on the inside.
