Queenie, the titular character in the new single from SadGirl, first turned up on the L.A. band’s 2016 EP. She was singer-songwriter Misha Lindes” “Baby Blue” and “Suzie Q,” he sang in “Little Queenie.”

“Goodbye Queenie,” released today, closes the book on the object of his affection, and although tears are shed, “I’ve got memories that will outlast time,” Lindes sings. It’s a brokenhearted country ballad made with drummer David Perez and new band member Sami Perez (who replaces Dakota Peterson).

Of the evolution of the band, Lindes says: “The song is the first venture in a new chapter for the group, focusing more as a personal recording project than it has been in the past. It’s without a doubt the saddest song I’ve ever written … but it’s also extremely exciting to venture into a new chapter.”

SadGirl’s full-length “Water” came out in 2019.
