As I reviewed my playlist of the best songs this year for this post, I realized that musically, 2023 was a great 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…
Welcome to my Top 40 of 2022! These are my favorite songs, off the best albums and EPs of the year, at least in my gay opinion. This year was full of new-to-me divas. Kickstarter kicked off 2022 with an Another Nguyen campaign and wound down the year with one by Heather Mae. While Spotify…
2021 has been a busy year. I spent a large chunk of free time searching out new-to-me divas to follow like Babygirl, Taylor Alxndr, Girl In Red, and Litany. A few of my prolific divas like Donna De Lory, Paula Cole, Natalie Imbruglia and Tori Amos dropped highly-anticipated (by me) albums. Most surprising, Debbie Gibson…
In my darkest days, music has always been the light at the end of the tunnel. My divas always know the right thing to sing and brightened my spirits in concert. This year a few of my old-school divas put out albums and I had time to discover some new-to-me divas. This year wasn’t the…
It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a six-pack. I’m also a sucker for new albums, but when my divas drop singles instead, I take what I can get. In my gay opinion, here’s six new singles that I’m a sucker for: I knew Alexander Jean was dropping their single “Nevermind” but was…
I was recently introduced to Madison Malone’s EP I & II. I love discovering a new-to-me singer-songwriter diva but the fact she’s a queer singer-songwriter interested me even more. I think many singer-songwriters phone it in and pander to the mainstream but not Madison, in my gay opinion, she just sings her truth honestly and…
I don’t normally blog about singles but I’ve been breaking that rule more and more lately. Bryce Drew’s “Lucky Number” is going to be the exception to this rule once again. This single I have been waiting years for, and in my gay opinion, it was worth the wait. Back in 2017 I went to…
I became a Sophie B Hawkins fan back in ’92 when I first heard her song “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” on the radio. Her raspy and gritty vocals over a driving beat had me hooked before the first “damn” left her lips. It would be just over a decade before I would…
After a decade of no new Shakespears Sister music, Santa came early this year (poor Mrs. Claus) when they released a greatest hits, Singles Party (1988-2019), back in July and their Ride Again EP this month. Ride Again contains an Instrumental and Video Mix of “All The Queens Horses” and a Perfect Mix of “C…
