Debby Friday Announces New Album, The Starrr Of The Queen Of Life.

Debby Friday’s sophomore album is set to arrive on August 1st via Sub Pop and Royal Mountain Records. 

Following the release of her 2023 Polaris Prize-winning debut, GOOD LUCK, Debby Friday has returned with the announcement of The Starrr Of The Queen Of Life, a dynamic new record. The ever-evolving Nigerian-Canadian artist has shared the single, “All I Wanna Do Is Party,” as the second preview. The high-octane, rave banger follows her previous offering, 1/17, a hedonistic embrace.

The Starrr Of The Queen Of Life was mainly inspired by the heavenly bodies and their relation to birth placements as a way of connecting to her inner-self and creativity. The record follows the multi-faceted artist as she defines success on hew own terms. “I want to be a starrr, I can’t hide that desire,” she mentions. “But what I don’t want is to live someone else’s dream or to follow a pre-set path.”

Debby Friday has also unveiled a visualizer for the single, co-directed by her frequent collaborator Kevan Funk. She describes the video to showcase “the transformations that happen when you devote yourself to a process over time. “
