Our obsession with Bad Ass Beauty seems to grow with every listen, so when we heard that the star had returned with a brand new, thought-provoking single, TypeCast, we were curious and couldn’t wait to listen and feed back!
Drawing us in with an exclamation of “Oh fuck” and her signature, fierce hard rock meets soul soundscape, Bad Ass Beauty sings, “I’m a master of playing it cool, I’m the one…” as she takes us on a personal journey with her prose, asserting her magnetic prowess, identity and independence in the same wave.
We love the choral style, question-answer style delivery moments, and Bad Ass Beauty‘s incredible charisma shines through as she shares wisdom that follows her lived experience.
Speaking on the message of the track, the artist also known as LaQuinta Prince, ponders, “You ever find yourself wildly feeling someone you normally wouldn’t give the time of day to? Go ahead and say it…they are out of YOUR league for whatever reason.”
She adds, “Love and think highly of yourself. It’s ok! But then here comes this one who you never thought…you’re just eerily drawn to this person… could this be? Let me keep it to myself until i figure this shit out cuz ain’t no way!! But then again maybe its time for a major shakeup…”
Educated at the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston, Bad Ass Beauty‘s musical influences span from Led Zeppelin to Chaka Khan, Beyonce to In This Moment, which we can feel come through vividly in her sound.
We have added TypeCast to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Bad Ass Beauty‘s wider discography including 4 Horsemen, and Me.
