Big Freedia Debuts ‘Bridgerton’ Themed ‘Hey Queen’ New Orleans Bounce Remix (EXCLUSIVE)

Big Freedia is redefining royalty with some New Orleans bounce.

The proclaimed Queen of Bounce has partnered with Netflixs Strong Black Lead to create a Hey Queen bounce remix tied to the streamers forthcoming project, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. The music video debuted on Monday.

Shot in Freedias home town of New Orleans, the video features appearances from the HBCU royal court at Xavier University and was also directed by the artists longtime friend and collaborator Edward Buckle.

I love that the whole idea of the show isnt based on race and it has a lot of different characters in it, every different walk of life and the way that everyone sees different royalties, said Freedia of the concept.

Freedia offered their own definition of royalty saying that its defined by class and grace. Its the moment where you get to sit on your throne, they said. Some people use power as a part of their royalty. But for me, its been very classy, very dainty, and polite. Im very polite with my royalty.

In continuing with the HBCU theme, Big Freedia will also host a New Orleans Bounce Waltz Party at Xavier University this weekend.

Queen Charlotte serves as a Bridgerton prequel series and tells the story of how the young Queens marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the Ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton, according to the shows official logline, per Netflix. The series is produced via Shondaland. Queen Charlotte is scheduled to premiere on May 4.
