New Zealand synth pop musician Princess Chelsea (aka Chelsea Nikkel) is back with her fourth album The Loneliest Girl, due for release via Lil’ Chief Records on 7 September.
The first single from the album “I Love My Boyfriend” is out today along with a brand new video.
The Loneliest Girl was recorded by Chelsea between 2016 and 2017 in her home studio in West Auckland, New Zealand with production assistance from labelmate Jonathan Bree. Chelsea’s trademark arrangements featuring classic 80s Synths (Yamaha DX7, Roland D-50), ambient guitars, and orchestral instruments are all here but are presented in a more refined and simple manner than on her previous releases.
Watch below Princess Chelsea’s video for new single “I Love My Boyfriend”, shot by Chelsea at her Auckland home in front of a green screen, cloning herself to create a band.
