My Machine

Princess Superstar

Princess Superstar’s fifth album My Machine is a 25 track, nearly 80-minute concept album. Princess presents a vision of the future in order to critique the present and reinvents herself as a sassy and smart anti-hero. In a world where stars are manufactured and not born she questions where the relationship between art and commerce is headed and attacks the current "Extreme Makeover" culture that turns people into imitations of a nonexistent ideal by promising to make them better versions of themselves, a theme she explores in "Perfect," the first video from the album. At times crazy and hilarious, hideous and alluring, deranged and compelling, she has mapped out an alternate universe on which to provoke and entertain.

Recorded over the past three years in Costa Rica, London, New York, Brazil, New Jersey, Mexico, and Berlin, this is Princess’ most ambitious work to date. The album was executive produced by her and the legendary Arthur Baker and also features production work from Jacques Lu Cont, Junior Sanchez, Armand Van Helden, and Todd Terry. She takes her cut’n’paste aesthetic to a new level as she effortlessly switches from the straight up hip-hop of "Famous" to the power punk of "I Like It A Lot" to the sinister electro of "My Machine" to the moody rock of "Artery" and her signature comedic style on "Quitting Smoking Song."

This should come as no surprise from a woman who, while working on this album, found the time to be a coach on MTV’s hit show "Made,", join Mensa, tour the world with her 4 turntable act "DJs Are Not Rockstars", have a weekly radio show on London’s Kiss FM, and be profiled in everything from the New York Times’ Style Section to Crain’s Business Magazine! NYC’s rhyming juggernaut is back with a love letter to independence, guaranteed to make brains and dance floors more active than they’ve been in a long time.
