Hot Singles in Your Area is the debut studio album by American singer Scene Queen, released via Hopeless Records on June 28, 2024. [1] The album features artists Wargasm, 6arelyhuman, and The Ready Set. [2]
Scene Queen stated her inspiration for the album saying "I wrote [this] album about growing up in the early 2000s but not exploring my sexuality until my 20s with all the messy and chaotic situations you find yourself in when you're trying to find yourself and your own power." [3] She wrote "Whips and Chains" about the fear of being a woman at a bar. [4] The album's opening song, "BDSM", is about the discrimination of women in the metal and alternative music scene, with the letters standing for "Beat Down Slut Metal" and "Big Dumb Stupid Men". "Oral Fixation" is about the problems of dating for the first time. "MILF" is a country music-style track about people who grew up with this genre, but moved away from it due to its conservative beliefs, and was inspired by a visit Scene Queen made to Tennessee one summer.
