April 2, 2021: Qween Paz (they/them) is an unapologetic genre-bending pop artist from South Texas. Unraveling their queer pensive heart into a glimpse of raw emotional cinema, Paz's music creates a safe space for the community to revel in an anti-shame, pro self-love dreamscape.
"Hold On Up", Qween Paz’s debut single with Grimalkin Records, pushes a simple chord progression that never sounded so unique. During the many luminous moments of Qween hitting their brassy strings on the guitar, a rip through the strong airiness of their tone has you swaying your neck freely to the pulse of a timeless bluesy cadence. The track builds you up, while their powerhouse voice slows it down, breaking through the tension, inching you in a little closer, and creating thirst for more, at Qween's command.

Oh I guess i don't know where to go
Oh, directionless
Do I really want anyone to know me
So I relocate alone
So I say hold on up
I say hold on up
I Say
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
I say Hold On up
I say Hold On Up
I Say
Hold On
Hold on
Ah, Oh
I need more days for my own things
And fresh air
To clear my head
All because you know the work that I’ve been doing
Is melting my mind
I need to leave so it can bring me back
I gotta leave the grind, this time
But they say .. they say they say
They say
Hold On
Hold On (they still sayin)
Hold On (they say .. )
They say hold on up
They say hold on up
They say hold on ..
Hold On
Aaaah, Ahhh
Whoa
Oh
(Hol up dat Hol up dat Hol up dat)
So then I say hold up
And then I say
Ohhh??
Then I say ( Hol up dat Hol up dat) hold on up
And then i say hold on up
And then I say hold (Hol up dat Hol up dat Hol up dat)
So I say hold up
And then I say Oh
Then I say hold up
So I say oh
Then I say hol on up
Oh
Sh,, Qween

(Eli)zabeth Owens’ Knock Knock is an incredible album. It is the conceptual continuation of their album Coming of Age (which you should also listen to), and Knock Knock is both an excellent continuation and a wonderful new album. The vocals, instrumentals, and lyrics are all excellent, and every song fits together wonderfully. Absolutely worth listening to.
Thank you for releasing this wonderful album. Kamani
