June may be over but the party isn’t, not when Tears & Gearz just dropped their new EP, Father Figure Fantasy. Every day is Pride and Father’s Day in Tears & Gearz world. This singer / songwriter duo’s sound is canned electro-pop with sexy and fun lyrics. Father Figure Fantasy is a little four-song taste…
Welcome to my Gay Asian Graphic Novel Era. I just finished “It Rhymes With Takei” by George Takei and before that it was Mike Curato’s “Gaysians”. I really hope my love of these two authors and books officially makes me a Rice Queen, because I’ve always wanted to be royalty. George is best known for…
For Pride Month, I decided to give Mike Curato’s new graphic novel “Gaysians” a shot. Gaysians? The title is fucking hysterical and the cover’s artwork caught my eye. How could I pass up a book that’s a tongue-in-cheek gay nod to Amy Tan’s “The Joy Luck Club” with a little “Sex And The City” and…
I’m a huge Echosmith fan and when I heard the lead singer and sister in the group, Sydney Quiseng, came out with her first solo EP Phases, I had to check it out. Echosmith’s sound is very electro-pop but Sydney’s EP has a more stripped down, singer-songwriter vibe. I love a guitar and vocal focused…
Nxdia’s last EP, in the flesh, was very sultry and smooth but their new album, I Promise No One’s Watching, is much harder and gritty. This album is a full-on indie-rock album. It’s not the album I was expecting but the album I didn’t realize I was missing. In my gay opinion, Nxdia has a…
Princess Of Power is Marina’s sixth album and in my gay opinion, it might be her best to date. Marina’s first few albums were full-on electro pop, then her next few were more introspective and personal and now Princess Of Power has married these two super powers into a quirky space-age disco album of feminist…
I got introduced to Adam Silvera when I discovered his book “They Both Die At The End” and became an instant fan. My fandom continued with his book “The First To Die At The End” which is the sequel prequel in his Death Cast universe (Where people are called on the day they’re going to…
Ok, full disclosure, I didn’t read Christie Brinkley’s new autobiography because I knew her from Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” video (also the title of her autobiography) or for being one of the premiere supermodels of the world (sorry Rupaul, there were queens before you) but it helped, the main reason was the chance to get…
Last week I got a surprise when Madison Malone unexpectedly dropped a new album, Milk & Honey. I love that she’s continuing on her pop trajectory and exploring doing something new, a sync album. For those who don’t know (since I didn’t), that’s music that is specifically made to be placed in films, trailers, tv…
It’s been four long years that I’ve been waiting for Litany’s debut album to drop. In my gay opinion, her previous EPs are pop perfection and I was expecting her album, Sadgirl, to be more of the same but it’s actually much deeper lyrically but just as musically pleasing. Sadgirl is like a pop therapy…
