We are stoked to premiere Sassyhiya’s latest single/video ‘Kristen Stewart’, ahead of its general release tomorrow. A joyful indie pop track that will make you want to dance.
This ode to the American actress and queer icon is Sassyhiya’s first release with Skep Wax Records, who’ll be releasing the band’s debut album Take You Somewhere on 8 November 2024.
Helen Skinner shares the following about ‘Kristen Stewart’:
“I wanted to do a song about her because I think she’s ace and makes great choices when it comes to roles. She’s grown up in the public eye and has still managed to become the person we absolutely hoped she would – someone proud of her queerness plus she’s really cool and fun.”
“It’s a catchy fun song that everyone can enjoy but I really hope it resonates with queer people. I love the idea of putting something out there into pop culture that reflects the love that the LGBTQ+ community have for Kristen, and that puts a queer spin on the celebrity-inspired pop song. I would love, love, love to hear it played in a queer space or at a lesbian club.”
This song also serves as an official ‘hello’ after Helen’s missed opportunity seeing Kristen in the area filming a scene for Spencer at a Kentucky Fried Chicken on the Old Kent Road.
“I stood right next to her while she was dressed as Princess Di but chickened out (pardon the pun) of saying hello.”
