Princess Nokia releases "Maiden, Mermaid, Well"

Post Author: Andre G

After Princess Nokia’s “G.O.A.T.” video, which could have, at face value, been construed as a braggadocios moment in step with so much of mainstream hip-hop, the talented rhymer/singer clarified. She told Genius that the song and video, is “not about aggression or materialism, but about spirituality, cultural diaspora, [and] body positivity.”
It’s those themes that have won her so much respect and admiration across the world. They’re front in center in “Maiden, Mermaid, Well,” a recently released short and “precursor” to “Brujas,” a track from her 1992 project. As Princess Nokia gently caresses the Brujas who appeared in the original video, she delivers a self-affirming soliloquy, conveying her oneness with the elements surrounding her. The video, like many of her others, was co-directed by the multi-talented artist with Asli Baykal.
Along with releasing the short, Princess Nokia dropped a re-mastered version of “Brujas,”and announced 1992 Deluxe, set to be released on September 8th. You can listen to the re-mastered version of “Brujas” here.
