Los Angeles based WENS‘ follows the release of Rich & Famous with her newest single, Beauty Queen via R&R/Warner Records.
The essence of Beauty Queen interlaces both pop and alternative, while at its core is the lovelorn message of unrequited love.
Indeed, the ability to eloquently express the difficulty of yearning for a love that’s out of our grasp can be challenging, but WENS knocks it out of the park.
While Zhamak Fullad directs the visual, WENS gives further insight into the song’s message.
WENS explains, “I wrote this song about having a big crush on a guy who was ten years older than me. Every time I thought of him, I had this whole fantasy built out in my head like, ‘Imagine if we met in high school and how perfect it would of be.’ That’s where the lyric, ‘You make me want a time machine’ comes from. I was this sad 18-to-19-year-old who just wanted this guy to give me some attention.
Now he’s engaged AND going to have a baby in a few months. Maybe it’s for the best he didn’t pay me any mind,” she laughs.
