Postcard from CMJ: Queen of Hearts

Oh yes, the CMJ music marathon has taken over New York! We checked in with some of our favorite artists for the occasion.

A highlight of the Neon Gold Records Showcase, Queen of Hearts brought her shimmering, electronic sounds to Santos Party House on Tuesday evening to a capacity crowd. Having just released her single "Neon/Tears in the Rain" earlier this year, she was a standout choice for CMJ attendees on the first night of the marathon.
