Atlanta-born and Memphis-bred artist Kiva Richardson steps into her spotlight with unapologetic confidence on her latest single, “Queen of the Room,” a shimmering display of vocal poise, soulful storytelling, and magnetic energy.
Blending the smooth stylings of early 2000s R&B with a modern flair, “Queen of the Room” is more than just a song-it’s a declaration. Inspired by the likes of Ciara, Cherish, and the melodic richness of classic Southern R&B, Kiva delivers a track that’s seductive, empowering, and effortlessly cool. The production-moody yet rhythmic-lays the perfect foundation for her voice to glide over every beat with grace and grit.
“This record is for the woman who walks in and changes the temperature of the whole room,” says Kiva. “It’s about reclaiming your energy, your beauty, your voice. I made this for every girl who forgets how powerful she is.”
With lyrics that radiate self-worth and sultry self-awareness, the track positions Kiva as not only a rising star but also a voice for women owning their glow-up era. Whether you’re stepping into the club, your healing season, or a new version of yourself, “Queen of the Room” is the anthem to match your stride.
Kiva has been making waves in the indie R&B scene, with her original music being played on FM radio stations across the Southwest and featured through sync licensing on BET and BET Plus. Known for her emotionally raw songwriting and honeyed vocal tone, she is quickly becoming a name to watch-especially as the genre makes room once again for artists who can truly sing and have something real to say.
“Queen of the Room” is now available on all streaming platforms, and if this release is any sign, Kiva Richardson isn’t just entering the room-she’s about to own it.
