Baby Queen

Baby Queen

Baby Queen is the recording name used by Eleni Riga, a Greek artist based in London. The project builds on indie pop and pop, with a sound described as grunge-pop and hazy alt-pop, and it focuses on themes such as internet addiction, mental health, social media and disillusionment with online culture.

Baby Queen writes as a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, using satire and direct language to explore the pressures of modern life. The project emerges from experiences around Instagram influencers and fashion parties, and it reflects on the ways people try to numb themselves or find a place within what the artist presents as a chaotic cyber landscape.

The debut single Internet Religion combines pop influences with psychedelic synths and guitars, and it examines how social media shapes self-image. The artist’s pop background is linked to Taylor Swift and The 1975, whose music forms part of the project’s early reference points.
