July of last year, Crys Matthews had a Kickstarter campaign to get her album Reclamation made. I backed the campaign, of course, wanting to get my autographed CD (I’m all about the signed merch). A huge perk of backing the campaign was getting a download of the album months before everyone else, so I’ve had…
Nude #9 is Camille Schmidt’s brand new album and she’s continuing to work her folksy-pop sound on much of it, but there are a few tracks that surprisingly veer from her usual style. She branches out a lot on this album and flirts with a lot of different styles. “XOXO” goes very electro-pop with heavily…
Welcome to a New Year and a new-to-me diva! Thanks to Miki Ratsula (a new-to-me diva from last year) lending vocals and cowriting skills to Jules Paymer’s song “The Daughter That My Mother Wanted” (a song of being haunted by others expectations of who they want you to be), I decided to check out Jules’…
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…
Well, it’s that time of year again, to sit by my ceramic Christmas tree (since the cats would digest or destroy an artificial one) waiting for my divas to drop their new holiday music. They’ve been a bit stingy this season and left me thirsty for more than just a glass of Silknog, but the…
In my gay opinion, Natalie Imbruglia’s new album is a consolation prize for those of us fans who have been unlucky enough to have not seen her in concert. I’ve been a fan ever since I first heard her song “Torn” back in 1997, however, I’ve never seen her tour the USA. London-Live will just…
When it comes to theatrical shows, it’ll come as no surprise to anyone, that I’m a musical loving gay. I love Broadway musicals but prefer off Broadway productions even more. Off Broadway tends to be funnier and more nonconforming so give me a low-rent, off-color production any day. Back in 2007 I saw my first,…
I have a lot of singles (more than you have in your area) in my Spotify liked songs library. I’m waiting for full albums or EPs to drop, since that’s the true test of a diva’s talent, in my gay opinion. Moody Joody’s song “Talk It Out” has been sitting on my list for years…
Back in 2021, Twinnie released her first album, Hollywood Gypsy and then last week she finally dropped her sophomore album, Something We Used To Say. She made the three year wait worthwhile because this album has twenty-two songs, which is more than some divas greatest hits albums. That being said, Something We Used To Say…
This past Monday, October 28th, I took a day off from work (who doesn’t love a long weekend) to go down to Brooklyn, New York for the book launch of Marina’s new book of poetry, “Eat The World”. It was a beautiful day to walk from Grand Central, over the Brooklyn Bridge and a few…
