Scene Queen is back with a new song that may just be the right track to play every time a man wrongs you or those you love. With “Manicure,” the artist is kicking up her metal edge by several notches with guttural screams and scathing lyrics such as, “Hold up, this piece of shit pushed her head into a wall/So I need these bitches thick, gimme the cat claws.”
She says, “The song ‘Manicure’ is one of many songs on a new era where I really went back to my roots. I got into the studio with as few people as possible and thought, ‘If I could make Bimbocore again, knowing what I know now musically and personally, what would be different?’ As much as I love the humor and pop sensibilities of Bimbocore, and plan on keeping those going, I realized I’d make the heavier parts even more jarring and rage-filled. Thus, my angry song for long-nailed divas was born.”

Scene Queen adds, “The idea came from a conversation I had in a bar in Nashville months ago with [my partner] Joey [Fleming, In Her Own Words], where the song ‘Goodbye Earl’ by The Chicks came on and he challenged me to write it from my metal perspective. So story-wise, it follows a similar idea. If you could save your friend from a terrible man, wouldn’t you? It’s also very self-aware in the sense of saying, ‘Yes I am beating up a man AGAIN in a song, but it’s because they keep doing awful things.'”
