Queer Musicians, Europop and Music,Music and more music.

So for my next blog entry I decided to rank Carly Rae Jepsen's discography. Let the record show that I will not be doing her first album Tug of War. I will only be doing the albums and B sides she has released when I discovered her. With that being said I want to preface by saying I am pissed...royally pissed. Till this day Carly is only known for her 2012 hit track "Call me Maybe". Why does this piss me off? Because she has released some of my favorite pop albums in the past 5 +years. As a songwriter, she has this knack for writing catchy pop songs. yet no other song has really hit since "CMM". This is a travesty but this is not a profile piece this is a ranking. So let's begin shall we?  Let me explain how my rankings will go I will rank the very best to best (I love her fucking music so its all good). I will also pin point songs that I really enjoy and give you recommendations(in purple). Okay with all that taken care of we can get into the countdown.

From the moment I listened too and saw the visuals for "Preach" by Keiynon Lonsdale I was mystified by his talent. In fact before you read this I need you watch the video linked below! Go watch It. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu90RXox81s My homeboi gave me vocals, visuals and choreography that had me screaming yasssssss. With his first album titled "Rainbow Boy" coming out on the 29th I had to do my next blog post on Mr. Lonsdale. I have been singing this man's praises since either late 2018 or early 2019. The first time I saw him was in a little movie called Love Simon, I was like who the heck this fine ass man. Immediately I started doing some research on him. What I learned is that he is a singer,dancer, actor, Half Nigerian, Australian queer boy. Mind was fucking blown!!! It is always fucking amazing to have representation out there. As a queer African myself it makes me feel fucking seen. Keiynon speaks to me for many reasons, the main one being his ide

King Princess. For some that name is familiar for others you are probably saying...who the fuck is that? Well they are a queer pop star that made a splash in 2018 with their hit song "1950". A queer pop alt rock song about PDA and same sex couples. It became quite a hit on the US Alt chart peaking at 17 and being certified platinum. King Princess released her debut EP entitled Make My Bed on June 15th 2018. From the moment I started researching them I became enthralled with her songs and songwriting. She is hands down one of my favorite artists and her songs are consistently resonating with my young-ish queer soul. You would not think a twinky white lesbian would be such an inspiration to me, yet their music speaks to my soul. Unfulfilled desires, queer longing and heartbreak? Sign me Up. As a song writer she depicts the queer experience with such honesty. If you want to know more about them, I will gladly post some links. This post is not about her history but about the musi

As a young baby gay I discovered this interesting band featuring an actress that I had such a crush on. Her name was Taryn Manning and boiiii was I in awe of her. So imagine my surprise when I discovered she makes Trip Hop music with her brother Kellin. That was when I went on the search to hear this mystical music. Boii was I surprised when my ears instantly came from the BooMKat sound. Taryn and Kellin Manning are the brother sister team that is Boomkat. The best way to describe their music is a mix of trip hop, pop,and pop rap. Taryn provided the lead vocals and raps, while Kellin was the man behind the beats. They also wrote all their songs together. They released their first single "The Wreckoning" on May 19th 2003 (UK release). That was 17 years ago today,I was exactly 11 years old at the time. So Happy Anniversary to their first lead single "The Wreckoning". Their debut album was entitled Booomkatalong.One and its hands down one of my all time fave albums. I
