On her latest EP, “I’m Not Always Sad, Sometimes I’m Angry”, Kings Elliot unveiled a deeply personal and emotionally charged collection of tracks that introduced her artistry to the masses. The project resonated widely, earning critical acclaim for its raw, unfiltered honesty and melancholy.

With her newest track, “Starcrossed”, Kings offers a tantalising glimpse into the next chapter of her musical journey—an evocative preview of what’s to come in her upcoming project. This track not only marks an exciting new era but also showcases her evolving sound with expansive depth and intensity.

Opening with a soaring, cinematic instrumental, “Starcrossed” is an expansive and immersive piece that encapsulates the very essence of Elliot’s artistry. Seamlessly blending piercing lyricism with hauntingly authentic melodies and rich, textured instrumentation, the song embraces a newfound nostalgia. Expanding on the story behind the single, Elliot reflects, “Starcrossed” is a song about the end of a love that was doomed from the beginning, a love that will never be given the chance to fully bloom in this lifetime. It captures the raw, bittersweet emotions of spending those final moments with someone you care deeply for, knowing you’ll never see them again.”

Kings Elliot goes on to detail how the song came to life… “I started this song at [hit songwriter] Emily Warren’s incredible writing retreat that she put together which was like a week-long therapy session. One afternoon Max [Wolfgang], Adam [Yaron] and I just got into a room and the song poured out in less than 2 hours. I finished it with my long-term collaborator, Halfrhymes, turning it into the version you’re hearing today.

I have always drawn inspiration from ‘50s music but this song is the first time I fully lean into that influence and I love every second of it, especially the catharsis it brings when I perform it live—something I’ll be doing a lot more of this year!”
