The big pop hooks are still there, unmistakably hers, but vocally and sonically this is Ava Max operating with a confidence and ambition that goes beyond anything on \u2018Don\u2019t Click Play.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m telling my story my way,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m doing things differently and it feels good. I feel empowered, reinvigorated, and I think you can hear it in this single. \u2018Kill It Queen\u2019 is for anyone who wants to feel unstoppable.\u201d That energy comes through in the track, and the sharper avant-garde aesthetic surrounding the release signals that this reinvention runs deeper than a single song.<\/p>\n<p>The foundation she\u2019s building on is already formidable. Over 22 billion streams, multi-platinum plaques, and a string of smash hits including \u201cKings &amp; Queens,\u201d \u201cMy Head &amp; My Heart,\u201d \u201cThe Motto\u201d with Ti\u00ebsto, and \u201cWhatever\u201d with Kygo have established her as one of pop\u2019s most consistent forces. \u201cKill It Queen\u201d arrives as the version of herself she\u2019s clearly been working toward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Credit: Petros Kouiouris Ava Max is making a statement. \u201cKill It Queen,\u201d her new single out now&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242458,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[61086,94780,9,24,63,122,124,123,94781],"class_list":["post-242457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-ava-max","tag-kygo","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-tiesto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
