Yehra is back with their old-school Sade vibes on their new Ricochet EP. In my gay opinion, the EP’s jam is slow, smooth and sultry and has me living out some serious retro lounge lizard realness. Yehra’s melodic beats and breathy vocals sound like something you’d experience in a dimly-lit cabaret with red crushed-velvet booths…
I’ve been a Fefe Dobson fan for two decades, ever since buying her self-titled album on CD in 2003 because it was on sale. I love me a bargain. This was a time before Spotify, discovering new artists was a crap shoot but Fefe didn’t look like every other artist out there and with song…
Nxdia (pronounced Nadia with they/he/she pronouns) is a new to me diva. Their new EP In The Flesh caught my attention because it’s unlike anything out there right now but with a little familiarity because it borrows from so many genres. Nxdia’s bi-lingual (English and Arabic) song writing is solid and impressive. The EP’s sultry…
I’ve recently discovered Lynnea M’s EP from last year, Shades Of Indigo, thanks to Spotify. According to Google research, many people might know her from being on The Voice, which I haven’t watched since the first season. I only made it through the first few episodes, losing interest when the professionals started messing with their…
In honor of Pride month, I decided to put my money where my mouth is…isn’t that kind of gross, haven’t I learned anything from COVID…by backing the new-to-me diva, Jenn Champion’s Kickstarter campaign to get her next album (The Last Night Of Sadness) made. Jenn is the self-proclaimed “gayer of the gays” so you don’t…
Last year I was surfing around Kickstarter and discovered Lindsay Coulson’s campaign to get her first EP made. I checked out a couple of her singles, liked her sound and decided to back her campaign. This month she dropped the EP, Believe It. “Believe It” starts out the EP with Lindsay’s smooth vocals over a…
Mark your calendars, 2023 is the Year Of The Queer Diva and I am living for it! Last month it was Less Killjoy and this month it’s Vivi Rincon. Spotify is once again spot on with it’s Discovery Weekly offerings for me. Vivi Rincon was on it a few months back and has been sitting…
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…
Last year I was introduced to the the album Changemakers by musical poetress Crys Matthews. I got to experience her live show this year at The Parlor Room in Northampton, MA and she’s great recorded but live she takes her talent to a whole new level. Last week, Crys tweeted about Heather Mae’s new Kickstarter…
Thanks to Spotify’s Discover Weekly I was recently introduced to Yehra’s 2021 EP, Magnetic. My curated playlist is usually chock-full of upbeat indie-pop, but sometimes I like my vibe mellowed and a little dreamy, and that’s exactly what Yehra delivers. I was instantly drawn to “Magnetic – Extended Version” with it’s smooth finger-snapping sound and…
