Everybody knows iconic black divas such as Diana Ross, Beyonce and Little Richard. If you don’t, you need to stop reading this post right now, Google them, and recite ten hail Mary’s…Wilson or J. Blige… whichever Mary you get on your knees for. In honor of Black History Month, I went through my personal musical…
This is the third year in a row that I was able to count on a new Abigail Osborn EP. This year’s, How Do You Know When It Feels Right? EP, once again focuses on Abigail’s strong singing and songwriting abilities just like her last two EPs, the addictive Bad Lover Chapter 1 and dynamic…
When Spotify recommended the song “Jealous Of My Brother” to me, Miki Ratsula’s vocals caught my ear and I wanted to hear more. I liked that Miki’s sound was sort of gender fluid and after looking up their Spotify page, I found that Miki is a trans, non-binary Finnish singer/songwriter whose voice matches their persona. …
What better way to start off the New Year than with a new album from Wild Fire, Mirrors Edge, which has a whole new sound for them. Wild Fire’s previous albums were very much pop-country and there’s some hints of that on their current ballads. However, the sister duo (Kayla and Kelli Iutzwig) have taken…
As I reviewed my playlist of the best songs this year for this post, I realized that musically, 2023 was a great year.

Well, it’s December once again, that means time for me to binge cheesy Hallmark and Lifetime holiday movies and download the newest diva holiday music. A few divas dropped their first seasonal singles ever, but these aren’t your grandma’s carols. Fefe Dobson’s “Santa Claus Is Back In Town” is a classic song but now with…
This past weekend I had an audience with The Queen…no, not of England. Rupaul? No, she might be fabulous but she’s no queen. I’m talking about real royalty, not just someone who dons a crown and feels entitled. I’m talking about The Queen of Hip-Hop, R & B, Soul, Country and Pop! I am talking about Miss…
Just when things feel a little less perky and quirky in the world, Lenka drops her new album Intraspectral, and balance is restored. Although I’m a little more cynical and appreciate my revenge breakup songs, Lenka’s writing style and sound always brings a smile to my face. In my gay opinion, her fun-loving sound is…
Last year, thanks to Kickstarter, I found Another Nguyen’s campaign to help get her new EP, Look At How Much You’ve Grown, made and I’m glad I could play a small part by backing it. That’s the cool thing about Kickstarter, helping indie artists see their dreams brought to life. In my gay opinion, the…
