Scene Queen tackles harassment and catcalling with new single Pink Rover

Scene Queen has shared a raging new single and video, Pink Rover.

Out now via Hopeless Records, the genre-melding track tackles harassment and catcalling, with Scene Queen (real name Hannah Collins) sharing: “When I wrote this song I had been living in Hollywood for six years. Women that live in major cities understand that there’s a certain level of harassment you deal with every single day through catcalling. The amount of times I have had to call friends and pretend I was on the phone with my boyfriend to avoid feeling unsafe or objectified is honestly a traumatising amount. So this song was written to explain the rage I feel towards a society that allows women to be treated that way.”

She continues, “When I walked in the studio with my male producers and cowriter, they had already been working on a track idea that involved a knife sound and ironically I had literally just been whistled at getting out of my car to walk into the session, so it all clicked. And having two guys in the session was honestly the perfect test audience for the lyrics. Something that you know is attacking a very specific audience and if you’re not the target you can tell I’m not fully serious. I wanted to get the point across but have a sense of humour about it because I think having a sense of humour makes hard topics easier to digest. And of course in Scene Queen fashion, I had to throw in some pink.”
