Steinsdotter’s “HoneyBee” and “HoneyBee 1733” Vibrantly Blend Queer Pop and Baroque Styles
"HoneyBee" is a steamy, humid, and playful track that captures the essence of Steinsdotter’s unique blend of queer pop, underground pop, and alternative dance music. The single is a celebration of self-acceptance and natural power, drawing inspiration from the harmony and purpose found within a beehive.
LONDON, UK (July 21, 2024) – Trailblazing artist Steinsdotter just released her new single "HoneyBee,” promising to sweeten summer playlists and empower fans to embrace their true selves. Steinsdotter penned the track earlier this year, inspired by an obsession with bees and honey as a nectar of healing. This fascination, coupled with a longing for summer, inspired the track. The harmony of a beehive mind captivated Steinsdotter, leading her to imagine a world where individuals accept themselves and embrace their natural power, much like the honey bee. Steinsdotter brought the concept to the studio with longtime friend and producer Agon Branza, who worked his magic on the track. They were in a particularly sassy mood that winter, envisioning summer breezes and the buzzing of worker bees, which ultimately shaped the creation of the track. Fans of artists like Sega Bodega, Lykke Li, and Tove Lo will find echoes of their styles in "HoneyBee." The track masterfully blends a dark, atmospheric vibe with a hard-hitting beat, punctuated by the buzzing of the hive.
After an outpouring of love for “HoneyBee,” Steinsdotter decided to reimagine the danceable track as a Baroque piece straight from the early 18th century. In the historic Konk Studios in North London, some of London’s greatest string and wind players performed “HoneyBee 1733,” re-scored by Steinsdotter longtime collaborator and producer, Agon Branza. Bouncing around genres is nothing new for this London creative, in fact, it’s part of the magic. “I love mixing my music across genres - give it eternal life from a different angle,” says Steinsdotter. “Creating a full blown Baroque styled sound was just as epic and extravagant as it sounds! Hope you’re ready to find your inner Bridgerton.”

Steinsdotter identifies strongly with the worker bee and its relentless drive to work for a cause larger than itself. She believes that connection and purpose are essential to the human experience and that community, curiosity, and compassion can bring people closer together. She feels that observing nature more closely can teach valuable lessons, encouraging everyone to soften their gaze, open their hearts, and embrace playfulness this summer.
"I hope listeners find their best inner sassy and join me on the dance floor this summer," Steinsdotter adds. "Think naked skin and honey drizzles—it's sticky but so tempting."
2024 has been a fruitful and eventful year for Steinsdotter, and it continues with the release of "HoneyBee," ensuring that fans feel the buzz.
