Princess Nessa Barrett, congrats! With the release of her eagerly awaited and extensively hyped single, “Passenger Princess” the alt-pop darling is finally here to usher in a new era, and it’s a whole-ass vibe. The new song, which is sensual and seductive, is the singer’s first release of 2024 and a sneak peek at her sophomore album, Aftercare, which is scheduled for release later this year.Barrett declares her allegiance to her beloved, promising to always ride shotgun into the sunset with him. The music for the opening credits of a lovelorn romance is dark yet sunny.
The intriguing and sensual melody is further enhanced by her impassioned delivery of words like “Flashing lights, Put it into drive, Up and down my thighs, I’m your favorite fantasy,” and shimmering synths set against melancholic guitar riffs and bass grooves. This sets up an exhilarating, heart-pounding chorus in which she reiterates her willingness to sacrifice everything for her partner. According to Barrett’s statement, “‘Passenger Princess’ symbolizes the intense honeymoon phase when you first enter in a new relationship.” “The mindset where you would do anything for the one you love just to experience the passion of a connection.”
In addition to putting out new music, the alt-pop performer has been rather active lately. Earlier this summer, at the Hangout Festival, she performed her 2023 hit “American Jesus” on stage with Lana Del Rey. Barrett will also be present at the Milton Keynes Bowl for Yungblud’s first-ever BludFest on August 11.
