Queen Bitch Ignites with “Even If I Pray” (B-Side “A Popular Song”): A Fiery Grunge Reawakening

thisaktmusic

29 May, 2025

Ireland’s fierce rising rock phenom Queen Bitch unleashes a seismic double blow with “Even If I Pray” (B-Side “A Popular Song”) a grunge-clad declaration of defiance and rebirth that leaves her firmly planted as alt royalty. With her seventh release to serve as a precursor to her highly anticipated 2025 debut album, Róisín Bohan (aka Queen Bitch), harnesses raw vulnerability as thunderous strength, reminding us that often, catharsis isn’t found at the bottom, but in the space before it.

“Even If I Pray” starts with a slow burn melancholic, distorted, and emotionally cracked. It’s a song about giving in to loss without sinking into despair. Bohan’s voice roars and cries out as fuzzy guitars swell into a conclusion that feels like salvation.

The B-side, “A Popular Song,” has untamed rebellion in full bloom. Here, Queen Bitch spits venom at social norms, carving out a way out of social expectations. The chaos and disarray of the song contain a perfect amount of disorder, messy, loud, and unapologetically raw.

Recorded at Beadfire Studios with a dirty edge, these two songs are the manifesto of transformation. Unabashed and fierce, Queen Bitch is not just breaking the mold, she’s demolishing it.
