Scene queen makes herself heard on dynamic debut album “Hot Singles In Your Area” – New Noise Magazine

The musician releases a sexy, funny and powerful record that empowers the female and LGBTQ+ communities.

Bimbocore queen Scene Queen knows how to get the party started with fun, liberating and catchy music, and her debut album Hot singles near youout June 28th via Hopeless Records, showcases that ability well. The 15-track album features iconic anthems celebrating sexual freedom, hyper-femininity, LGBTQ+, and everything in between, with a little help from collaborations with WARGASM, The Ready Set, and 6arelyhuman. With song titles like “MILF,” “BDSM,” “Peg,” “Oral Fixation,” “Climax,” “Whips and Chains,” and “Mutual Masturbation,” there’s something for everyone, no matter what listeners are into. Everything from the riffs to the cover art is tied to the early 2000s, showing Collins’ connection to that era, with the music reflecting the specific experience of growing up as a girl. Her music shows the cracks in society and breaks down the walls we put up every day, showing that we’re all pink inside, even if this new scene looks different. Unlike anything else in metal right now, Scene Queen uses sweet and catchy riffs to create her brand of metal, creating a safe space for feminine and LGBTQ+ fans in a rock scene where they feel anything but welcome, and freeing them from the cage they can be locked in by misogyny and society as a whole.

Whether one has been on Tik-Tok, seen her live shows, or watched her creative music videos, listeners are aware of the artist’s ability to craft a powerful lyrical narrative that speaks of female empowerment, LGBTQ+ acceptance, and confronting misogyny while being catchy, cathartic, and headbang-worthy. Wild, feisty, and angst-filled, the New York-born, Ohio-raised scene queen, born Hannah Collins, uses her hyper-feminine aesthetic to take on genre purists and misogynists. Along the way, the singer finds her power and embraces her voice, taking listeners on a journey of self-discovery. Songs like “MILF” and “Finger” promote inclusivity, acceptance, and normalizing the pursuit of one’s sexual pleasures in a fun and unique way, turning the definition of metal on its head in the process. With songs like the cathartic smash “Pink Push-Up Bra” and “Whips and Chains,” the singer leaves her trauma behind and reclaims her power through aggressive lyrics, giving her pain an outlet, something that every listener can scream along to.

The record features a series of female power anthems that speak to the singer’s experiences exploring her sexuality and growing up within strict definitions of femininity in the early 2000s. On the hard and powerful track “Pink Push-Up Bra,” Collins takes aim at those who commit sexual assault, while “18+” addresses sexual abuse in the music industry. Not limiting herself to one sound, Scene Queen also showcases her vocal talents on the album closer “Climax,” which finds Scene Queen unleashing her true power and musicality. Suitable for a variety of settings—from headbanging in your room to hanging out with friends to screaming the lyrics at a show—the record speaks to listeners on a universal level.

Scene Queen is more powerful than ever on this record, naming and owning her experiences and destroying misogynists along the way. Scene Queen speaks to the warrior in all of us, giving listeners the strength to reclaim their personhood after trauma and to realise that they can still live an expressive, free life afterwards. With this record, Scene Queen establishes herself as the epitome of emo and an exciting voice in the genre.
