Queen Bonobo drops new single: ‘Waiting Tables’

By Reader Staff

Idaho-born artist Maya Goldblum released a new single Aug. 1 titled “Waiting Tables” that is currently available to listen to online.

Goldblum plays under the moniker Queen Bonobo and said “Waiting Tables” is a personal song that was inspired by her own experiences.

“‘Waiting Tables’ is my Saturn Return song,” Bonobo wrote. “It’s about getting clear in the vision of how I want my life to be and letting all that’s not serving me go. I’ve been in the service industry since I was 14 and this song is my slightly sassy and soothing way of manifesting success in my music career.”

Bonobo, who refers to herself as a “queer, androgynous songstress” has been making music rooted in folk, soul and jazz for years. Weaving through her eclectic song formations are introspective lyrics and ethereal melodies that continue to invite her listeners to feel, cry and dance.

Listen to Queen Bonobo’s new single and all of her music on streaming services like Spotify online. She’ll play the Emerge ArtWalk in Coeur d’Alene from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 8 and in Sandpoint at the Mountain Cloud Farm with Laurie Shook from 5-8 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 31.
