The last week has been incredible for music, especially with new releases from some of our favorite LGBTQ+ (and adjacent) musicians!
After coming out earlier this year, Khalid’s latest pop track feels freer than we’ve heard from him before. Meanwhile, Doja Cat is dipping her toes back into 80s pop sounds, Ashnikko toys with hyper-pop on “Trinkets,” Betty Who basks in the glamour of it all, and Victoria Monét teams up with LUDMILLA on their sensual track “CAM GIRL.”
Carly Rae Jepsen’s 2015 album EMOTION has seen a sharp spike in Spotify streams on its anniversary, and the pop star just dropped an unreleased track to celebrate. We also have new albums from Conan Gray, UMI, Maggie Lindemann, ADÉLA, Teyanna Taylor, and Jae Stephens.
