King Princess shared a sultry music video for “Prophet,” filled with lustful gazes, rosy-red lighting and symbolism on Wednesday.
She previously released “Prophet” as a single last month, garnering many streams, and making waves in indie and LGBTQ communities for her lovestruck lyricism and themes related to her genderqueer identity.
The video opens with King Princess, aka Mikaela Straus, singing and dancing in a football uniform, twirling around with a bouquet of roses in her hands. A cheerleader is seen filming her, then the scene transitions to a King Princess performance in a nightclub/restaurant, where the same cheerleader is now a waitress watching her perform.
The “Prophet” video shows the indie singer repeat the chorus, ”’Cause I can only think about you, what it’s like to walk around you,” alone under red lighting, at a construction site and on a table as older men and her love interest dine, and her body resembles a cake. As King Princess explains in a tweet, “it’s a metaphor.”
