Electro pop from Prinze George

Prinze George are an American Alternative Pop band formed by Kenny Grimm (Producer), and Naomi Almquist (Vocalist) in 2013, before the two recruited Isabelle De Leon (Drummer) soon after. Following the release of their self titled EP Prinze George the band went on tour with Albert Hammond Jr as direct support in 2015. Bolstering their growing reputation they dropped their debut album Illiterate Synth Pop in 2016 and joined Lewis Del Mar on his North American Tour.

After impressing fans at festivals like Austin City Limits, Eaux Claires and Firefly with their nostalgic, synth-soaked sound and mesmerising, gripping performances, the band released their last EP Airborne in 2018. Around the same time, Naomi and Kenny were given the opportunity to write songs for actor / director Til Schweiger’s film Head Full of Honey in Europe. They continued to expand their loyal following and break genre barriers thanks to a string of collaborations in 2019 with some of the industries top artists like Carnage, Diplo, G-Eazy and Wiz Khalifa (“Slot Machine”, “Letting People Go” and “Wait For Me”).

Now, the band returns to start 2021 with a bang with the release of their newest eclectic single, “Centuries”. Through this release, the band showcases their euphoric breaks and groove-laden drums, layered with addictive vocals that bear emotion.

Within their lyricism, Prinze George take a vulnerable perspective that will have any audience relating to them. The single talks about the inevitable loss of autonomy that comes with being coupled with another person for so long.

While being in love has its perks, it can also make you weak and confused about what is yours and what is your partner’s. As the message-heavy vocals guide the track, the melodic instrumentation will soothe your emotions. The seamless fusion between indie-pop and electronic elements create an overall energetic and ethereal track. “Centuries” comes ahead of the band’s forthcoming sophomore album, Happy Garden.

With “Centuries”, the group deliver a dreamy indie pop sound. Hook-driven writing leads the synth and guitar based arrangement to build an emotive and catchy piece.

Commenting on the track, Kenny and Naomi offer, “Our society often romanticises romance, but we rarely examine the presence of loss in love, particularly the loss of self that almost always occurs when you’ve been together as long as we have.”

Continuing, “When you love someone, you observe your reality shifting in positive and negative ways, but you accept it, because it’s impossible to leave someone who makes your life fuller and sweeter, especially when it becomes a habit, even if it makes you weaker as an individual in certain ways.”
