Anthems come and go. And we have heard many songs about being a queen. So what makes “Young Queen,” the most recent track by singer/songwriter Mimoza so unique? Many factors.
First, Mimoza is no stranger when it comes to creating anthems. In this case, “Young Queen” delivers a message that awakens new thoughts on the topic of knowing your worth. This track is definitive, spellbinding, and memorable. So, it’s like Mimoza is painting on a familiar canvas but she’s using new brushstrokes!
“Young Queen” does not tell the familiar story of ruling the world or sitting on a throne and dictating rules, no, it tells the story of finding the royalty deep within yourself – a personal journey that starts from recognizing your roots where true beauty is found, and crowns abound. Mimoza sings:
I was born in a place on the earth
In a town with a name never heard
Pride that’s bigger than mountains
Men cry water like fountains
For the girls with their head held high
Keep it up so your crown don’t slide
Lessons we learn from our mothers
Nothing but the best cause we come first
Oh, oh
Tell me have you ever had a love so loyal
Ever had a love so royal
Oh, oh
Tell me have you ever had a love so loyal
Like I got
Cause if not
I will be your first
I will be your earth
Make you fall down to your knees and thank my mother for her daughter
I will love you deep
Be your gravity
Make you fall down to your knees and thank my father for his daughter
She’s a young young young
Young young queen
Young young king treat her like a young queen
In short, anyone can wear a crown, but that does not make them a queen. It’s knowledge of where you come from, pride in how you represent said heritage and honor in knowing that you ARE regal that makes a crown sit on the head and makes them a QUEEN.
Driving this message home are powerful percussions and Mimoza’s brave vocal register. The dexterity of Mimoza’s vocals remains stunning. She’s passionately bold in her vocal execution. The backing vocals are parenthetical and make the message even clearer. Therefore, the appreciation of Mimoza’s heritage is pushed from her core and displayed organically yet modernly. And surprisingly, but on a good note, although this track contains BIG sound, it is low on fillers. This production technique brings storytelling to the forefront.
During an age where image means everything, it is easy to get lost in the mix of real and fantasy thus making your worth appear worthless. Quickly a girl can follow the leader and never recognize that she is built to LEAD. But when one is able to peer into the past and find the roots that made them uniquely them, then worth becomes wearable. Mimoza illustrates this reality in “Young Queen.” This is the summer masterpiece that is calling for an arena!
Finally an emotive anthem!
