If you love Prince around his Purple rain era, well you’re going to love Queency and his new single “Purple Diamonds” which is very Princeisque. (We made up that word).
Queency is releasing the Purple Diamonds EP on November 24th.
Originally from Reunion Island Queency is now the prince of Perth!
Purple Diamnods is an ode to 80s’ pop, like we said it’s very Prince sounding. It is a very modern track, popping of sounds the remind you of Whitney Houstan and Michael Jackson.
Queency is no stranger to the stage either, A self-proclaimed “stage whore”, Queency’s live performance alongside his delectable and increasingly signature take on funky, soulful pop and modern R&B has seen the charismatic singer-songwriter draw comparisons to the likes of Ari Lennox, Daniel Caesar, Erykah Badu and Charlie Puth throughout his career.
An artist inherently focused on crafting memorable melodies and punchy hooks, Queency’s wit, honeyed multi-octave vocals and dynamic dance moves has also seen him increasingly turn ears and heads, with a nomination in 2021 for a Western Australian Music Award alongside an ever-growing abundance of sonic material.
First discovering his musical obsession with gusto at the age of five hearing the Spice Girls on the radio, while also singing along to Stevie Wonder as a child, it would be Prince and Whitney Houston.
Both were Queency’s ultimate biggest musical influences, that cemented the Réunion Island born artist’s eventual creative pathway.
Already generating buzz with a string of singles, and live performances seared into the minds of fans in Western Australia, the Queency story is truly only just unfolding, with the slick, sleek and sexy debut EP Purple Diamonds ready to dazzle and catapult Queency to even greater heights in late 2022.
Queency “the new Prince” has previously released a number of tracks, including Too Late, Forbidden Fruit and When Daddy Left.
Queency Stated “Whether in love, lust, friendship, family, or even solitude, navigating relationships with others and the relationship you have with yourself, is not always straightforward.
Writing these songs was my way of reaching catharsis in times of anger, sadness, grief, hope and joy.
I’m one of these people who live their emotions intensely and sometimes the only way to process them is to turn these emotions into something productive and tangible. That’s what I’ve done with this EP.”
