Bradley Jago returns with a soulful new single, Killer Queen. Co-signed by BBC Music Introducing and Future Hits Radio, ‘Killer Queen’ explores the thrill and danger of falling in love without defences, merging timeless soul textures with a vibrant pop flair. Accompanied by a striking visualiser, Killer Queen is further cementing Bradley Jago’s place as one of the UK’s most compelling new voices in contemporary soul, as he continues to offer up ‘queer soul for queer souls’.
About Killer Queen
‘Killer Queen’ marks a bold new chapter for Bradley Jago, showcasing his evolution as an artist unafraid to blur the lines between soul and pop. From the opening bass lick to the soaring final refrains, Bradley Jago’s ‘Killer Queen’ arrives as an anthem for anyone who’s risked everything to surrender to love. Serving as the first glimpse of his upcoming March 2026 EP, Jago’s lush vocals and lyrical vulnerability playfully explores the thrill and vulnerability of falling so deeply it’s almost lethal.
Propelled by a groove-heavy bassline, ‘Killer Queen’ weaves together neo-soul tradition with modern pop polish. Velvety chords, swinging percussion, and Jago’s layered vocals build a sound that’s both rich and immediate. His performance commands the spotlight, while subtle shadows in the production mirror the emotional push and pull at the song’s core. The result is a catchy reflection of love’s volatility and the courage it takes to let someone all the way in. Speaking on the song, Bradley Jago shares,
“It’s about surrendering my reservations in the name of love, and how being so vulnerable leaves your life in their hands.”
Drawing sonic parallels to artists like Leon Bridges, Olivia Dean, and Joy Crookes, ‘Killer Queen’ nods to Jago’s neo-soul, balladic roots while pushing into bold new territory. Penning emotionally raw lyrics is second nature to Bradley Jago’s discography, yet ‘Killer Queen’ sees Jago stepping into a soundworld of warm, dance-leaning soul textures.
‘Killer Queen’ is produced by Logan Aspin and mastered by Pierce Johnston. Writer credits include Bradley Jackson, Rotem Aberbach, Joseph Burnett, Tony Sage, Oscar Gross, and Shirin Nisametdin; a creative team that has drawn out Jago’s innate ability to blend intimacy with grandeur.
