Pretty people get pretty things.
Rising hip-hop/pop artist Helen has returned with her most recent single, “Pretty Privilege,” released on Feb. 14. This track effortlessly defies all conventional Valentine’s Day expectations, intertwining elements of pop and R&B to create a powerful female anthem. Drawing inspiration from artists like Doja Cat and Beyoncé, “Pretty Privilege” embraces the concept of leveraging one’s attractiveness to get exactly what you want in life. Helen paints this picture throughout the track, saying, “He want my love, but I just want his money / So I took his cash and I broke his heart / ‘Cause pretty bitches, we get what we want.”
“It’s meant to challenge conventional standards and celebrate the empowerment of individuals irrespective of societal judgments,” Helen said.
In a blend of powerful lyrics, Helen’s soulful vocals and infectious melodies allow her to maintain a defiant, unapologetic and bold persona. This establishes her as an enduring female hip-hop artist, taking on the self-confidence train by storm in a celebration of empowerment. Helen’s “Pretty Privilege” shows us that women can embody their powerful, unapologetic selves no matter what — and look pretty while doing it.
