A minimalist R&B gem, Meagan De Lima’s “Queen” is a sophisticated triumph. An ode to her heritage, culture, and matriarch, “Queen” pays homage to the woman who raised her to become one of Toronto’s most exciting new R&B acts. The song is a garden of simple, beat-driven melodies that delicately blossom under her velvety vocal instrument. Despite its barebones production, Meagan’s lyrical prose is captivating, demanding, and honest. A blissful ballad and bow to her mother, “Queen” inspires the daughter in all of us.
