In my gay opinion, music can be like a time machine. Olivia Newton-John’s “Hopelessly Devoted To You” flashes me back to creating musical productions of Grease in my basement with neighborhood friends (you already know who Sandy was), “Holiday” by Madonna was playing both when I got my first kiss and got into my first…
Take note divas, Alexander Jean is showing you how it’s done, if you’re going to release a bunch of singles with no plans of releasing an album then have the courtesy to compile them together. Welcome to Alexander Jean’s new single and EP, Coming Down. Alexander Jean has taken a total departure from their usual…
It’s only been a couple weeks since I first heard of Chloe Moriondo and already their coming out with new music. I guess that’s the perk of being late to the party to discover a new diva. Chloe’s new Blood Bunny Acoustic EP is a perfect marriage of their first album Rabbit Hearted’s strumming instrumentation…
I’ll be the first to admit that my taste is very specific when it comes to my divas. When people give me suggestions for a musician I will “love,” nine times out of ten, it’s someone they like with zero consideration for my taste. When one of my friends, John, suggested I check out Griff’s…
I’m a bad gay or just an old one, but thanks to that fancy new contraption called The Internet, I’m just now discovering this new wave of up-and-coming young LGBTQIA+ divas that I’ve been unaware of for years. Last week may have been the end of Pride month but I’m keeping the party going with…
When I look for new music, it’s rare to discover a diva recording in a new style, but that’s what I discovered this weekend. My partner and I went on a road trip to New Hampshire for a Tiffany concert. My partner was driving, putting him in charge of music. It was 80’s New Wave…
Last Juneteenth my favorite indie music downloading service, Bandcamp, donated 100% of their share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Bandcamp is making it a yearly tradition by doing the same a day early this Friday June 18th. Last year I discovered queer pop diva Be Steadwell, so I went on the Black…
In my gay opinion, Marina’s new album Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land should be required listening for any female young adult today. It’s something I want my great niece listening to. Marina has made a socially-conscious electro-pop album with a strong female voice. Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land has stayed true to Marina’s…
I miss the good old days of running to the music store on album release day, sweating it out worrying they might be sold out before I got there. Now a days, I refuse to preorder albums online because divas sometimes release autographed or deluxe editions the day of and also I don’t want to…
As with the making of any good quilt (not that I would know, I took sewing in high school and was so bad at it the teacher had me clipping her grocery coupons instead), there’s a little of this and a little of that thrown in, and that’s exactly what Paula Cole’s American Quilt is…
