King Princess – Fantastic (from ‘Arcane League Of Legends’)
American singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist King Princess, born Mikaela Straus, is having a monumental 2024. Not as much for the quantity of her output, but certainly for the quality of it. Just like her Steely Dan cover Dirty Work earlier this year, her new single Fantastic is this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. The track is featured in the final act of ‘Arcane League Of Legends: Season 2’.
Arcane is one of Netflix’s most successful animated series ever. The Emmy-winning series is based on the iconic video game League Of Legends. Season 1’s soundtrack has amassed over 5,6 billion global streams since its release in November 2021 and maintains over 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. The soundtrack to Season 2 builds on this phenomenal success, with 22 original compositions that were crafted for pivotal moments in this season’s episodes. Featured artists include Twenty One Pilots; Stray Kids; Young Miko and Tom Morello; Mike Shinoda and Emily Armstrong of Linkin Park; Ashnikko; Freya Ridings; Imagine Dragons feat. JID; Royal & The Serpent; Stromae and Pomme.
The best track of them all however, is King Princess’ Fantastic. A melancholic song with atmospheric synth production and soulful vocals, totally delivering on its title.
Fantastic by King Princess is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

King Princess – Dirty Work
Some artists’ repertoire is better left untouched. Steely Dan is one of them. Their music is perfect, so why bother trying to make it even better?
However, no rules without exceptions. Enter American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist King Princess (real name: Mikaela Mullaney Straus). She just released her own, show-stopping version of The Dan’s Dirty Work. It stays pretty true to the original, but her voice sounds a bit more tragic than David Palmer’s. All in all, it does full justice to the legacy of the song that was one of the highlights op Steely Dan’s 1972 album Can’t Buy A Thrill. A classic long-player, which also features their hits Reelin’ In The Years and Do It Again.
King Princess recorded her version for Season 3 of TV series ‘Hacks’. Hannah Einbinder, who stars in the series, is a good friend of Straus’ and asked her to record the track. It appears at the end of Episode 2, which was aired only last week. Being all about toxic relationships, Dirty Work goes well with the theme of the series.
While working on her third studio album, King Princess is also about to make her acting debut. She’s set to play in Season 2 of ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’, alongside Nicole Kidman, Christine Baranski, Dolly De Leon, Murray Bartlett, and Annie Murphy.
Dirty Work by King Princess is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

King Princess – Pain
King Princess – Pain
21-year-old Brooklyn-born Mikaela Straus is currently making a living as King Princess. Her career exploded in March 2018, when Harry Styles tweeted a lyric from her debut single 1950. ‘I love it when we play 1950′. Next February and March, if everything goes as planned, she’ll support him at the European leg of his world tour.
Meanwhile, King Princess is working on her sophomore album. Pain, co-produced by Mark Ronson, is the second single to be released ahead of it. A rollicking pop song, incorporating old-school sounds like a house piano. It teams an upbeat melody with devastating lyrics. ‘I feel it now / Pain’.
Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, she said about Pain: “I think what I love about it is it’s got that fucking piano. It’s the ultimate George Michael meets Erotica-era Madonna meets an incredible remix if you’re in a gay club that makes you uncomfortable and horny.”
