“I’m a queen, not a soldier / I’m fighting a war tonight,” proclaims Detroit-based pop singer-songwriter Flint Eastwood on her orchestral anthem “Queen.” Beyond the declaration that she’s not afraid of a skirmish, she lets her listeners know that she’s calling the shots, not taking orders. The self-produced artist boasts a repertoire built on empowering subject matter and ecstatic choruses. With lyrical content as substantive as her hooks are sugary, she fills out her work with EDM flourishes and nods to trap and hip-hop. Flint Eastwood performs on Sunday, January 28, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington. Nydge opens.
