QueenieQueenie’s 2024 debut album New Moult is a melting pot of immersive soundscapes, raw emotion, and powerhouse vocals—an unflinching statement of arrival from one of Australia’s most exciting new voices. Released via Cheersquad Records & Tapes the album debuted at #19 on the ARIA Charts and #3 on the AIR Charts, earning national radio rotation including Double J. Blending vulnerability with voltage, Queenie’s songs cut deep—led by “Not Divine”, which was shortlisted for APRA’s 2025 Song of the Year and cemented her reputation as a fearless, genre-blurring songwriter. Nominated for Breakthrough Artist and Album of the Year at the 2025 AIR Awards, she’s already being recognised as a major force in Australian music. On stage, Queenie is magnetic. Whether performing solo or backed by a band of Naarm/Melbourne’s finest, her shows shimmer with raw energy, theatrical flair, and a voice that can shift from delicate to explosive in an instant. Following a sold-out album launch at Northcote Social Club, she’s become a festival favourite with appearances at Beyond the Valley, Queenscliff Music Festival, PANAMA, Blues on Broadbeach, and more. With New Moult, Queenie hasn’t just announced herself—she’s kicked the door in. “Equal parts theatre, thunder and attitude.” - Rolling Stone
