Jane N’ The Jungle’s latest single, “Beauty Queen,” strikes with raw emotion delivering a commentary on the millennial experience. With its release on August 30, 2024, the track follows in the footsteps of their summer hit “GTFO” and serves as the second single from their upcoming record.
“Beauty Queen” is a hard-hitting track that captures the band’s signature sound—an unapologetic blend of alternative rock, metal, and punk influences. The song opens with a fierce guitar riff that immediately sets the tone. Jordan White’s commanding vocals cut through the mix like a knife. Her voice is haunting, carrying the weight of the song’s themes of disillusionment and lost dreams.
The song confronts the harsh realities faced by millennials. With lines like, “She was promised the world, but now it’s burning down.” This speaks to the shattered expectations that many have experienced as they navigate adulthood in an unstable world. The chorus, with its anthemic refrain, “Beauty queen, where did it all go wrong?” encapsulates the frustration and longing for a past that never quite lived up to its promises.
The production of “Beauty Queen” polishes the sound while maintaining its grit, allowing every instrument room to breathe. The guitars, in particular, stand out, delivering a relentless energy that drives the song forward. The drumming is tight and precise, adding a sense of urgency to the track, while the bassline provides a solid foundation that keeps everything grounded.
Jane N’ The Jungle doesn’t shy away from heavy topics, and “Beauty Queen” is no exception. The song serves as a reflection on the false realities and unfulfilled aspirations that have come to define a generation. But beyond that, is a glimmer of hope—a reminder that resilience and defiance can still shine in the face of adversity.
