The ultimate ‘Cool Girl’ is back; in fact, she’s just upgraded her status to ‘Queen’ following her brand-new single. Starling’s latest single isn’t just a song; it’s an anthem of empowerment with a crystalline beauty that gives us all the feels and sets the stage for her much-anticipated upcoming EP. Starling has been making queen-level moves throughout her entire career, and it’s only fitting that we recognize them. Here are our favorite ‘Queen’ moves Starling has made in her career so far.
Releasing ‘Queen,’ Obviosuly
Nothing says ‘Queen’ status like a power ballad that doubles as a soundtrack for self-empowerment. Starling’s latest single, ‘Queen,’ brings us her most vulnerable yet uplifting side. From those tender lows to breathtaking highs, her vocals genuinely soar. And the piano behind it really helps us appreciate how incredible Starling’s vocals are. The track is serving us major power pop anthem vibes.
“‘Queen’ is about giving up – that moment when you feel you can’t go on any longer. An anthem, a reminder, a mantra that I didn’t, in fact need to “give up” I just needed to straighten my crown.” Starling shared this in a recent press release. So, honeybees, that’s our cue: time to adjust that crown and keep it moving!
Getting Discovered While Waitressing
When it comes to a true queen-worthy discovery story, Starling’s origin moment is top-tier. While working as a waitress in London, Starling was discovered by none other than Massive Attack. Since then, she’s been compared to major icons like Ellie Goulding, Lorde, and Florence Welch, so it’s no surprise that Starling has captured global attention. A discovery fit for a queen? Absolutely.
Her Mighty Sound
Starling’s sound is both ethereal and gritty, blending sophisticated, edgy pop with messages that are all about courage and resilience. Every track feels like it’s got something important to say, and that’s pure ‘Queen’ energy right there. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s endlessly inspiring.

Motivational Powerhouse
Starling’s queenly influence doesn’t stop with her music; she’s also a force offstage. Known for her motivational speaking, she’s a staple in the London creative scene. She hosts monthly podcasts at Soho House, where she dives deep with industry icons like Fleabag’s Sian Clifford. Whether she’s inspiring through her music or her words, Starling’s energy lifts us all up.
From her music to her story, Starling will forever be our alt-pop ‘Queen.’ Now, who’s joining us for the release of the upcoming EP? Let us know in the comments how Starling inspires you, or find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
