Macclesfield alt-rock band Queen Cult shares ‘To Be A Boy’ – our #singleoftheweek, and the lead single from Queen Cult’s upcoming EP BE BETTER, out 2 August.
Queen Cult’s upcoming EP explores boundaries and pulling from personal experiences.
On ‘To Be A Boy’, lead singer and founder Maisie Johnson breaks through inner boundaries. Maise shares the following about ‘To Be A Boy’:
“This song is super personal to me and based on my experiences growing up, I hope this resonates with anyone who had similar experiences. It was written about growing up with the confusion of wanting to be a boy, when in reality I came to the realisation that I just wanted the freedom that boys had growing up. It’s also about the misconception that when I hung around boys, I should fancy them – but I just didn’t! Navigating a world as AFAB was, and still is, pressured with multiple expectancies in behaviour followed by rules. This is my experience of that. I hope it sticks with you.”
