Gretel Hänlyn shares video for ‘King of Nothing’
The song is taken from her EP ‘Head of the Love Club’.
Gretel Hänlyn has unveiled the video for her latest single ‘King of Nothing’, directed by Ben Brook. Watch it below.
The song is taken from her ‘Head of the Love Club’ EP, which was released in March.
Speaking about the song, Hänlyn has said, “‘King of Nothing’ is about how easily some dumbies will undermine or disrespect you, especially when you’re a woman and/or minority. This is me reminding myself they’re dumbies and giving myself a free card to yell at them - doesn’t solve much but it’s fun and takes the weight off.”
Hänlyn released her debut EP ‘Slugeye’ in 2022.
