Los Angeles indie pop duo Queen Anne return with “Watch Me Win It,” a sharp, radio-ready single that pulls from multiple eras of pop. The track folds a wink of rockabilly into a sleek modern indie frame, giving it bounce and bite at the same time. It is bright, playful and built to stick. “Watch Me Win It” lands with undeniable charm and a hook that refuses to loosen its grip.
The song carries a mischievous streak. There is wit in the writing and levity in the delivery, a balance that keeps the energy buoyant without losing focus. It follows last year’s debut “Real Enough,” which introduced their character-driven storytelling and quick-turn phrasing. This new release pushes that personality further, sharpening both the humor and the musical muscle.
Commenting on the track, frontwoman Katie Silverman says, “The inspiration for ‘Watch Me Win It’ came when I had like three victory points in my hand during a game of Catan, and nobody had the slightest clue. They all pretty much counted me out because I only had a couple settlements, but then I built a city and turned over my development cards, and that was that.”
Queen Anne is led by Silverman alongside veteran writer and producer Sandy Chila. Silverman, who recently turned 21, has worked in film, television and theatre since the age of five, with appearances on Grey’s Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, General Hospital and New Girl. The duo also drew attention for their bold take on David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance,” reimagining a classic with confidence. With each release, Queen Anne tighten their sound and make their case in real time.
