Royal & the Serpent explores emotional and sonic depth on her new single “Carry Me Home,” out now.
Royal & the Serpent has released “Carry Me Home”, a deeply resonant new track that showcases both her lyrical vulnerability and bold sonic experimentation. Available now via Atlantic Records, the song offers a poignant glimpse at her debut album, expected later this year.
She begins with a haunting invocation: “Father, save me from the monsters, hold me like a daughter, carry me, carry me home.” With each line, her voice floats through ambient reverb before crashing into a chorus of distorted synth and fractured beats—a sonic storm that mirrors the inner emotional unrest.
This release follows the impact of “Death Do Us Part,” lauded by Billboard for its authenticity and praised by mxdwn for its chilling atmosphere. With each track, Royal refines her voice—not only as a singer, but as a storyteller with emotional precision.
Her previous single “Wasteland,” featured on the Arcane: League of Legends Season 2 soundtrack, became a viral success with over 80 million streams. It also earned her a standout moment at The Game Awards 2025.
Approaching the 1 billion stream mark and preparing to join the 2025 Vans Warped Tour, Royal & the Serpent continues to prove she’s a multifaceted artist with depth, vision, and resonance.
