With this tweet there was a consensus of shock and excitement: Not only is Fiona Apple releasing a new track, but this is an unexpected duo.
King Princess has been a rising star of 2018, and 2019 seems to be a very promising year for her. King Princess released her debut EP Make My Bed last year; she’s gained an impressive fan base and cult following obsessed with her chill pop tracks.

In the height of her career, Fiona Apple was way ahead of her time in terms of political awareness. Example A: mumbling to herself that “there is no hope for women” during a photoshoot as the photographer repeatedly told her to look sexier. It is no surprise that in this social environment, creative women are channeling their love of this outspoken feminist who turned her pain and past abusive experiences that were both systematic and personal into powerful chilling ballads.
There is nothing that alludes to Fiona Apple releasing any of her own new music (although we wouldn’t mind), but we’ll have to stay alert since she is keen for surprises.
