“I wanted to make a slight genre shift…” Listen to Scene Queen’s first new single of 2025, which is a glorious ’70s disco banger.
Following last year’s explosive Hot Singles In Your Area debut album, Scene Queen has just unleashed her first new music of 2025.
The musician – real name Hannah Collins – has returned with an ace new disco bop called L-Shaped Couch, explaining that, “I wanted to make a slight genre shift in what feels like a very fitting time to do so. With the current political climate, I wanted to pay homage to a music era that I feel was ahead of its time.
“The disco era was dominated by marginalised people,” Scene Queen continues. “Black artists were at the top. Queer artists were at the top. Women were at the top. It was an era where underground clubs were filled with people of all different races, sexualities, and backgrounds coming together to dance for hours. It was dominated by groups that people were actively trying to silence. Yet, it was a genre filled with so much humour, joy, and light. And ironically, rock fans hated it.
“I always try my best to push this genre into new directions and although disco had rock elements I’m hoping I can bring some new modern metal in as well. So with that, I’m starting this fun, new, collaborative and crazy era with a little song for myself and my queer fans. About how my first queer encounter was as positive as one could have. I can’t wait to see where this new project goes.”
