Todrick Hall unveils empowering ‘Queen’ music video

Graham Robson March 26, 2022

Powerhouse entertainerĀ Todrick HallĀ has unveiled the blockbuster visuals for Queen ā€“ an empowering anthem about self-acceptance and unapologetically celebrating your individuality. The club-ready banger, written by Todrick, is the latest release from his 2021 album FEMULINE, which he willĀ  tour in the UK in May before an appearance at Brighton & Hove Pride in August.

Renowned for his charismatic and high-energy performances, Todrick is a multi-disciplined modern-day entertainer and recording artist withĀ over 800 million YouTube viewsĀ to his name. He has starred in a selection ofĀ BroadwayĀ smashes, collaborated withĀ BeyoncĆ©, and co-executive produced the award-winning music video for Taylor Swiftā€™s LGBTQ+ anthem You Need To Calm Down.

Todrick Hall: ā€œQueen is a survivor anthem. Itā€™s a statement for anyone embracing their individuality and finding power in living their truth. No matter who you are or where you come from, I believe there is an inner Queen in all of us. Itā€™s time to let it out.

“This music video was filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine in January. It was a real honour to be able to film in some of the cityā€™s iconic landmarks. Iā€™ll never forget this experience. It is so heartbreaking to see what has happened in the last month. Our hearts are with the people of Ukraine. We stand with you.ā€
