Emptiness is Godly

Royal and the Serpent releases her anxiously awaited debut album, Emptiness is Godly, via Atlantic Records. Led by the brand-new double single “Favorite Person” and “Fiona,” the project is underscored by a multi-sensory experience with cinematic visuals of “Favorite Person” streaming on the singer-songwriter’s official YouTube channel. Listeners got the first taste of her vision with the irresistible, innovative, and impactful alternative conjurations of “Favorite Person” and “Fiona.” Through these songs, Royal & the Serpent welcomes everyone into the embrace of a living, breathing, seething, and shimmering world of her very own design through the eyes of a mysterious protagonist referred to as “R.” 

“‘Favorite Person’ is a big reveal as we enter into the world of Emptiness is Godly. This song is the underlying theme to our story. Main character ‘R’ finds herself entangled between two romances. Subject ‘R’ exhibits as follows (but not limited to): confusion, guilt, self-awareness, remorse.” Elaborating on “Fiona,” she continued, “‘Fiona’ is ‘R’s experience of nostalgia. Subject ‘R’ exhibits as follows (but not limited to): yearning, benevolence, grief, hope.” — Royal & the Serpent
