King Princess performs “Let Us Die” on “Fallon,”

Last night, King Princess performed a new track, “Let Us Die” on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

The track, which features drumming by the late Taylor Hawkins, is taken from her new sophomore album, Hold on Baby, out now via Zelig Records/Columbia Records.

Hold On Baby is already receiving critical acclaim…“indie-pop visionary” who “exudes a rock-star persona as purely savage as anyone in her generation”—Rolling Stone“really really exciting”—NPR Music“Hold On Baby is urbane and self-possessed, the work of a keen-eared musician coming into their own as a producer and stylist. She sounds even more like herself: More flexible as a vocalist, more cutting as a lyricist, more confident in her own power to bridge gaps between disparate styles.”—Pitchfork“her boldest art yet”—Daily Beast“a modern indie-pop tour de force”—Entertainment Weekly“King Princess turned inward throughout the writing process, peeling back layers in a more intimate way than ever before.”—Consequence“King Princess’ striking sophomore record Hold On Baby is not an attempt at self-discovery as much as it’s a practice in self-marination.”—INSIDERAdditionally, “CBS Mornings” spoke with her about the new album.

To celebrate the album’s release, King Princess performed at Lollapalooza last week following a special album release show at Chicago’s House of Blues the night before. Later this year, she will embark on TheHold On Baby Tour, a North American run of headline dates with stops at several historic venues—see full routing below and visit kingprincessmusic.com for more information.King Princess produced Hold On Baby alongside Mark RonsonEthan GruskaAaron DessnerBryce DessnerDave HamelinShawn Everett and Tobias Jesso Jr., with further contributions from Zach FogartyAmy Allen and Fousheé.Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, King Princess is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer whose debut single, an ode to untold queer histories titled “1950,” became an overnight smash hit with over 600 million streams to date and eventually achieving Platinum status in the United States and Australia.
