Liner Notes

A bit late for the #skirmish, but had to write something for @tarahenton's #VillainsLament prompt. I'm not sure exactly who is speaking here--somewhere between the Evil Queen from Snow White and Elizabeth Bathory, I suppose. Anyway enjoy the evilness.

Lyrics

Daddy says that I'm his princess
Mommy says that I'm a queen
Either way I'm in the spotlight
Gonna make a scene
You gonna tell me that I'm jealous?
Well that's just obscene
'Cause I'm the fairest in the land

People tell you to be loyal
People tell you to be kind
People just wanna be royal
Wanna have what's mine
So excuse me if I want it
All of the time
'Cause I'm the fairest in the land

Ooh, I won't stop ruling even with a broken crown
Ooh, all these dragon slayers can't bring me down
Ooh, hear them all scream and I love the sound
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest bitch of all

Lock 'em up inside the dungeon
Chain 'em up against the wall
Take 'em up to the tower
Then make them fall
'Cause their blood will save my beauty
Gonna drain 'em all
'Cause I'm the fairest in the land

Ooh, I won't stop ruling even with a broken crown
Ooh, all these dragon slayers can't bring me down
Ooh, hear them all scream and I love the sound
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest bitch of all

I won't stop ruling even with a broken crown

Ooh, I won't stop ruling even with a broken crown
Ooh, all these dragon slayers can't bring me down
Ooh, hear them all scream and I love the sound
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest bitch of all

ooh super cool from the get go!

@odilongreen 1w

Fierce in lyrics and in execution, and that intense bass nicely reflects this evil villain crushing all resistance! The song is catchy and dark and seductive and just the perfect entry for a Disney update that uses modern dance music for its soundtrack!

@squirrelhavenstudios 2w

This is a really cool song. I love how it builds over the course of the piece and I like how you've treated your vocals at various points. Your lyrics are a blast (everyone loves a villain, right?) and your chorus, with its "ooh"s, is excellent. Really well done!

@tarahenton 2w

Robyn!! This is such a killer take on the prompt! The mix of fairytale villainy and full-on badassery makes it so fun, and the lyrics have such a confident, commanding energy. That ‘mirror, mirror’ hook is especially catchy—it’s been stuck in my head since I listened. Love it—so glad you wrote something for this!

@djtjb 2w

That bass is sick! The slick composition just fuels the fire of the villainess lyrics. And that riser around 2:00..... Evil! Diabolic even! Loved this, total bop!

@kristian 2w

ooo that is some funkiness! loove that synthbass! badass bitch queen; glad I’m not friends with her 🙌🫣

@wurzelfrau 2w

Wow this is excellent. And it has such a good drive, really fun, this is truly one of my favourites so far!

@janeg 2w

Wonderful reinterpretation of the fairy tale. But I don't want you for my queen!

@steve_poet 2w

quality stuff, that beat is addictive, your vocals are great and the melody is cool and unique, possibly my fav song so far

@owling 2w

Amazing lyrics and tune ! I want to dance now ! I love the line about the dragon slayers and the one about "people just wanna be royal" it's very catchy!

@wobbiewobbit 2w

wooo! this is great! fantastic dance feel, chair groovin to the badness over here! so many great lines and fantastic production as ever. you Rock!

@robynsdad 2w

Quite honestly, I can see a deepfake of a certain modern president singing this in front of his golden mirror. Anyway, great production on this, and you really captured the VillainsLament sentiment.

@alyxanderjames 2w

This is so damn catchy! I love it, such a fun take on the prompt.

@timfatchenMod 2w

Inventive, catchy, and I detect a certain enjoyment too..>! The electronica backing is an almost perfect foil to your voice.

@nadine 2w

Good lyrics and nice sounds. Sounds like a badass version of Evil Queen. Hope they also modernise the movies someday soon 😀

@celineellis 2w

Yes Robyn, love love love this. Such a great groove and track sound. Like someone else said I can hear it even bigger and darker. Great skirmish

@innerspear 2w

Very interesting production on this one! I could see this sounding a lot heavier and being super badass. Nice work.

Funny to hear the "mirror mirror" mandela effect on display here haha.

@wcentennial 2w

This is badass!! Love the evil queen and Elizabeth bathory vibe(I know of bathory from the movie stay alive, one of my favorites) Way too cool, nice job!
