Prima Queen announce second album ‘A Touch Of Divine’ (pre-order here), set for release February 26th via Submarine Cat Records (Swim Deep, FEET, Home Counties, She’s In Parties), and share brand new single ‘Alanis Morissette’, out today (October 28th - BBC 6 Music Emily Pilbeam premiere last night).Partnering with revered producer Oli Deakin (CMAT), the duo’s new record finds them simultaneously more confident, more playful and more gutsy than ever before. Embracing the acoustic, country-tinged roots that the band had been built on, but augmenting them with this new - and necessary - sense of experimentation, ‘A Touch of Divine’ encompasses the fullest spectrum of Prima Queen that they’ve shown to date.On newest effort ‘Alanis Morissette’, (which marks the follow-up to September lead single ‘Dirty Rascal’ + precedes November dates alongside The Big Moon) the two-piece pay tribute to the patron saint of saying how you really feel, with a reference to her iconic ‘You Oughta Know’ and a track that emphatically states the difference between being sad and angry. This typifies several of the  themes throughout their forthcoming record; there is a lot of love and loss, rage and reclamation, but more than an album about external connections, it’s an album about their relationships with themselves.With continued strong support from key tastemakers across the media landscape, including approval from all corners of the press community (The Guardian, The I Paper, The Independent, The Times, NME, DIY, Dork, The Line Of Best Fit, Rolling Stone UK, Clash, Rough Trade, The New Cue, The Forty-Five), and widespread BBC 6 Music (Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens, Lauren Laverne, Craig Charles), BBC Radio 2 (Jo Whiley’s Record of The Week) + Radio X airplay (John Kennedy - live session), Prima Queen returned to the live circuit this past summer with a triumphant set at London’s Crystal Palace Bowl supporting Bastille and The Wombats (+ early Olivia Dean, Wet Let & Whitney supports), in addition to a sold-out underplay at the capital’s iconic 100 Club for Dork Magazine. Primed and ready for the arrival of their second LP in 2027, the band will be heading out on an in-store tour to coincide with its release in February and March, with further live plans imminent.Detailing their new release, Prima Queen added: “The song ‘Alanis Morissette’ came from a conversation with a friend who said, ‘It sounds like you’re not sad - you’re angry!’ Anger is a huge part of grieving heartbreak, but sometimes it’s hard to let yourself feel those feelings and allow yourself to express it. This song is about acknowledging that anger, and about the way female friendship can give you a safe place to finally let it out.”Prima Queen’s ‘Alanis Morissette’ is out now via Submarine Cat Records and available on all digital platforms.
