Introspection From Melinoe:

Welcome Ghouls, Demons, and Fellow Wyrd Ones!!! Princess Goes (featuring Michael C. Hall, Matt Katz-Bohen and Peter Yanowitz) released their Third Single “French Kiss” to tease their next album “3!” The album graces the public on October 30th, 2026! French Kiss is described by the group as a “sprawling, six-and-a-half-minute electro-pop-disco-rock slow-burn.” The band notes inspirations from Daft Punk, Justice, Giorgio Moroder, and Isabelle Adjani. I was fucking electrified from the first listen. I cannot wait to witness the entire masterpiece that will be this album. These teasers have been the most exhilarating edgings of my melodic life. And their alignments with my spiritual reckonings, blessings and cognizance of wisdom has been brilliantly timed in mythological fashion. I couldn’t be more in love with how my story has played out, and where my story will continue to weave. That is equally manifested and expressed through my LOVE for Princess Goes, and this monumental album to come. Peter Yanowitz has expressed how these songs, and this album, have granted them an understanding of themselves, their sound, and who they want to be as the Universe has seemingly planted everything perfectly before them, and before us all!

From the visually pleasing, psychedelic visual pleaser teaser debuting on social media to the wholeness of the visualizer release I have been enthusiastically entranced to see what this exhibition is going to be. “French Kiss” unveils the direction for the tour of this album. Nevertheless, this album, the tour, it is going to be absolutely fire. Turning up the heat for us all to let loose as we build tension between ourselves and the ones we love out on the dance floor. A reunion of the Eternal Fire of the Human Spirit. Those who rode the Metallic Stallion of this year’s Fire Horse are experiencing their blessings this Harvest Season. Gloriously galloping across the finish line into the next adventure of their lifetime. The mirroring of excitement I feel for myself, is all I see for this Trio, and the illustrious essence of Shiva- the Masculine Force Empowering the Power of 3. I am obsessed with the Threes all around us at this time of the year, and at this moment in history. The Divine Masculine lying before the Chaotic Feminine to end her Reign of Terror and Invoke her Age of Dance, Love, Beauty and Divine Harmony.

All of this to express the soul work I see before me through all the other artists, creatives and soul weavers in this realm. The never-ending list of mentors that have inspired me along my own journey, and leadership as a fellow Beacon of Love and Truth. Life, society, and all the above feels horrifically doomsday nowadays. It could be easy to believe that all hope is lost. Princess Goes highlights a significant reminder to keep the fire alive. That there is method to such madness. To breathe and dismantle the fear of the unknown. To speak love into this world, no matter what, at all costs. And if you are too tongue-tied to do so? Perhaps surrender to the sensuality of life, despite the suffering. Hit this and allow the union of love to express itself- freely, authentically and wholeheartedly.

“French Kiss” has left me feeling a bit more myself, and a bit more complete. A collective blessing of wisdom for soul seekers who have been on this journey in their own way. I recognize the hero’s journey, mythos, adventure, transformation and fruition within them. The foreplay from “Strangers,” to “Sincere Chroma” into “French Kiss” is the exact pattern of nature as a seed sprouts, emerges and blooms. Delicately pacing at just the right time for magick to be bestowed. Needless to say the efforts made and intentions set are seen. Princess is on the right track to a Euphoric Supernova. May we all welcome the pace of tension and await our orgasmic bliss come October 30th. A true tale in understanding that it is not about the destination, but the memories along the way to the Mountain Top.

From the beginning, the song welcomes an upbeat rhythm inviting you to dance. That initial note triggers receptors within the body and mind to unwind. Increasing arousal and evoking a primordial urge to lock in with passion, and listen to your body. The tender sensuality lovingly embraces the Saturn urge to joyfully work for their play. The overachiever who will boil deep to ensure you hold on and never let go. The lyrics welcome a sexy spunk that has been missing in the modern creative world. While being bombarded with industry plants, polished sound tracks and capitalistic greed- this tune is a refreshing experience. A resurgence of community, socialization and economic fun that took a major blow during the Covid devastation. It seemed 2020 made us all take a deep, dark look at ourselves, and the way our world has been living. Now we come out the other side, born again- once more. Ready to honor the foundation of humanity, and self expression. The Hippies have conquered the Underworld. We are ready to bring forth change for a more vibrant world full of JOY. In other words… Disco is Back Babyyy YEAH!

I personally have not heard anything this sassy, rebellious and Synth-Goth-Pop Club worthy in my adult life. I recall the greats I was exposed to in my childhood. As a rock star dreamer ready to dance her wild, wild heart out? I have been disappointed by most of the presentation of the scene. A scene that has felt lifeless for far, far too long. Who is the David Bowie? Depeche Mode? Sisters of Mercy? (**Insert Preferred GOAT Here**) Of 2026? Of this Generation? Of our Age of Aquarius? I would bet my Love on Princess Goes. French Kiss has my vote for the peak closer at Goth Night. (Fascination Street Nashville– Get on it!) This hit song is an aphrodisiac for the best night of your lover’s life.

I could go on, and on, and on about my love and vision for this song, the connection between the previous two singles, this upcoming album and Princess Goes. Their ability to create magickal music for the collective soul is revolutionary. Whether you tune in at the shallow end or dive deep into the abyss- whether you ride the sober train or float in the sea of substance- there is psychedelic healing, and magick to be discovered within each and every song, to each and every beat of their hearts. I adore how entrancing and enchanting this band has become. I would fucking kill to see a Broadway, Anti-Christ Superstar-esque tour performance. I would love to don my fishnets and platforms, and make my way to a dance floor interlocked hip to tongue with my Beloved Husband, Chad. Reconnecting to the Human need for Play, Fun, Spontaneity and Healthy Sensuality.

Sometimes Words are not enough to Express Ourselves. Our Actions will Always Speak the Loudest. Don’t be Afraid to Show off and be Seen. Don’t be Afraid to Wear your Heart on your Sleeve and Create from the Soul.

Come and Get it with this French Kiss by the always wonderful Princess Goes.

Stay Tuned for my Introspection on their album “3” Coming to you October 30th!

Live Deliciously. Love Authentically. And Always, Stay Wyrd!
