King Princess brings an energy to “Homegirl,” a music video drawn from the live-show world around her album, Cheap Queen. Featuring behind-the-scenes footage from performances in New York and Los Angeles, the clip gives the song a sense of closeness, letting viewers see the artist in the spaces where her live identity was forming. Directed by Blythe Thomas and Grams, the video feels connected to the journey behind the music rather than separated from it.
Written by King Princess, Nick Long, and Romy Madley Croft, Homegirl sits within a 13-track album that also features Tobias Jesso Jr. The track’s presentation makes the release feel human, capturing moments that suggest movement, preparation, performance, and the excitement surrounding shows. That behind-the-scenes angle gives the song a human quality, allowing the audience to experience than a stage moment.
Homegirl ultimately benefits from that closeness. Instead of relying on spectacle, the video draws attention to the moments surrounding music, making the release feel like a snapshot of an artist growing into her own live presence. As part of Cheap Queen, it adds a window into King Princess’s debut era, balancing the immediacy of performance footage with the atmosphere of a story. It feels close and immediate.
