Watch the video for Scene Queen’s new single Manicure, which came about after Hannah Collins asked herself, “If I could make Bimbocore again, knowing what I know now musically and personally, what would be different?”
Scene Queen has unleashed a new single and video, Manicure.
Following her fun side-quest into disco with Platform Shoes and L-Shaped Couch, today Hannah Collins dives straight back into more of her signature sound that we’ve all come to know and love her for.
“The song Manicure is one of many songs from a new era where I really went back to my roots,” she explains. “I got into the studio with as few people as possible and thought, ‘If I could make Bimbocore again, knowing what I know now musically and personally, what would be different?’
“As much as I love the humour and pop sensibilities of Bimbocore, and plan on keeping those going, I realised I’d make the heavier parts even more jarring and rage filled. Thus, my angry song for long-nailed divas was born.
“The idea came from a conversation I had in a bar in Nashville months ago with Joey where the song Goodbye Earl by The Chicks came on and he challenged me to write it from my metal perspective. So story-wise, it follows a similar idea: if you could save your friend from a terrible man, wouldn’t you? It’s also very self-aware in the sense of saying, yes I am beating up a man again in a song but it’s because they keep doing awful things.”
