My Sixth Annual Divas Playlist

It’s almost time to put 2025 to bed so I revisited my Spotify playlist with all my favorite songs from this year’s new album releases. This year’s playlist has quite a bit of moody singer-songwriter goodness and feel free to give it a listen: This year introduced me to a bunch of new artists, with…

Rainbow Family

This week the government started it’s flat-out attack on my trans family, which is sad and infuriating. Trans people have always had to fight for the few rights they were given, so seeing those rights being taken away is disheartening. I’ve even seen hatred from certain gay and trans celebrities, which I can’t even pretend…

My Fifth Annual Divas Playlist

Whenever I do a music post, I choose my favorite song off the EP or album, throw it on this playlist and don’t revisit it until the end of the year. It’s fun to hear all my favs put together and how they work together, and this year, they seem to meld. Also, each year…

I always enjoy discovering emerging divas but it’s the new music from divas that I have been following for decades that really excites me. This year saw the epic returns of Susanna…

A Royal Run-In With Millie Jackson

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…

Resolution 2023…It’s A Date!
