QUEEN NAIJA’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM, MISSUNDERSTOOD HAS BEEN RELEASED
Platinum-certified singer/songwriter Queen Naija proclaimed by The New York Times as ‘the first soul star of the social media generation’ released her debut album, missunderstood, via Capitol Records.
So far in her career Queen has already amassed over 1.7 billion combined global streams. Lil Durk, Russ, Mulatto, Toosii, Jacquees, Lucky Daye, Kiana Led, and Pretty Vee are featured on the album. Missunderstood includes ‘Butterflies Pt. 2’, which continues to climb the Urban AC radio, entering the top three. The song has more than 63 million combined global streams while ‘Pack Lite’ has gathered over 42 million cumulative streams. Teyana Taylor directed the official videos for Pack Lite and Lie to Me ft. Lil Durk.
Earlier this week, Queen shared the album’s track listing in the form of a nostalgic 90’s sitcom introduction featuring her new single ‘Bitter ft. Mulatto’ as the show’s theme song. View HERE. The video racked up 500,000 views in the first 24 hours. Additional diary-entry style videos that serve as a visual track-by-track were released on her YouTube channel a total of 16 videos, one for each track on the album.
Queen also features alongside Jeremih and Lil Durk on the remix of NE-YO’s new single, U 2 Luv, which was released last Friday.
Missunderstood follows Queen’s 2018 self-titled debut EP, where she emerged as an unstoppable new force in the R&B world. Queen Naija featured three Platinum-certified singles: Butterflies, Karma, and her breakthrough hit Medicine an independently released smash that made its staggering debut at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100, a nearly-unheard-of achievement for an unsigned artist. Along with debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart, she earned major recognition in the 2019 awards season with nominations for Top R&B Artist at the Billboard Music Awards, Best New Artist at the BET Awards and three nods at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
First of all, I just wanna say It’s still VERY surreal to me rn that my album is finally out, and also that you guys LOVE IT 🧡🥺 I was so nervous I didn’t know how people would react but I’m still basking in joy. Let’s keep going up, promise I ain’t letting up. #missunderstood
