King Princess Announces Album Girl Violence, North American Tour

King Princess, the stage name of Mikaela Straus, has announced her third studio album, Girl Violence, set for release on September 12 via section1. The album reflects a deeply personal journey, including stepping back from the major label system, a breakup, and a return to her hometown of New York City, with themes exploring emotional and spiritual complexities of love and chaos among women. The lead single, "RIP KP," described by Straus as a "slutty anthem for the lesbians," is a dramatic and unhinged opening track that captures the sexy, chaotic side of love, accompanied by a music video directed by Warren Fu. Straus also revealed a North American tour starting in October 2025, covering major cities like Austin, Nashville, Brooklyn, and Toronto, with tickets going on sale June 13, followed by a European leg in December. Alongside her music career, Straus is currently acting in the new season of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers, showcasing her multi-hyphenate talents. The album and tour mark a significant creative rebirth for King Princess, emphasizing freedom, change, and a return to her musical roots.
