Seems every decade, the same crop of ‘controversies’ develop into a mass of virulence in the public sphere. What is natural shouldn’t be afforded extra credence or recognition right? But feminism in its dynamic spectrum, needs to be examined, in the repetitiveness that has to be. For the world still (though progressing) can’t afford to forget where we came from.
Our mothers. Our saints. The only member of the family who’ll still think of you as her pride and joy – no matter where or who’d you’ve become.
Exploring the constraints of motherhood, ‘Didn’t Know Better’ is Queen Frequency’s third single with the storyline off of the turn-of-the-century feminist novel ‘The Awakening’ by Kate Chopin. Shot on Super 16 film, the music video dissects the domestic demands that are expected of women across time.
Said Meghan McDonald of QFTT: “‘Observations of a Lonely Planet’ is a concept album in the most basic sense. It is formatted in a similar way to Kanye West’s ‘College Dropout’ and Lauryn Hill’s ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’, employing a classroom-based storyline. Only with ‘Observations’, the classroom is based in the future, and centres on the demise of Earth. This album has two themes: On the one hand, with the classroom storyline, it simplifies world problems that are going on currently in a way that a child could understand. While on a more personal level, the album dissects many existing facets of femininity.”
Queen Frequency & The Twats brings science fiction and feminism into its music, with vexing themes and ways to present them.
Album ‘Observations of Lonely Planet’ is out now.
