about

Queenie, the trash queen alter-ego of Melbourne musician Eloise Thetford, shares soaring new single and video, ‘Not Divine’ - A bold and fiery song that captures a relationship transitioning from idealised perfection to the raw reality of human imperfections.

Queenie is a fearless performer with her heart on her sleeve. Her new single, 'Not Divine,' demonstrates her fiery charisma and emotional depth. As the euphoria of the honeymoon phase fades, 'Not Divine' exposes the vulnerabilities and flaws that linger beneath the surface of a once-intense romance. Queenie explains, “It’s a story of being put on a pedestal and idolised in a relationship when really, I’m not some divine being; I’m human. After coming out the other side I realised I was trying to be someone I wasn’t and change someone who didn’t want to be changed. A deeply intense blossoming romance until the cracks began to show.”

Directed by Marcus Coblyn, the accompanying video is full of ethereal nighttime visuals. Wearing her mother's 80s attire, the video presents Queenie at her most authentic and vulnerable, as she battles against the idolised image imposed upon her. "I wanted to create divine, ethereal, and otherworldly visuals and conclude the clip with a shot of me sitting alone in a cabin – not divine; just a girl with her thoughts."

lyrics

I been waiting most of my life
To feel something warmer inside
Why won’t you just hold my hand
Just for a single night

Breathing shallow hoping it’s right
Can’t make out the shapes in the light
My skin crawls and I can’t go back so I
Ask you twice

Baby I’m not divine
Make me feel so behind

I been longing for something that’s right
Pieces ripped from every disguise
Why won’t you just hold my hand so I
Can feel alive

Why do all my days go dark
Still collecting a thousand sorry hearts
I’m so tired and full of lies so I
Begin to cry

Baby I’m not divine
Make me feel out of time
