Oh, Jada...

No, Dave. No snarling guitars. What you’ll find here is deep rhythm and sultry lyrics. And then that video. I think it's hot. It's the magic of music, I guess. In any case, Jada does it for me. I like her voice, I like the lyrics, I like the beat, I like the vibe. I like the visuals. And I don’t even like girls that way.

I think there's more and more queer artists who decide to be true to themselves and use the correct pronouns and put in their videos what THEY find attractive. I wish more queer artists would do what Jada did here: put the object of her affection front and center. I don't know if that'll preclude her from finding support in mainstream radio and that's maybe why we don't get more of these great voices and points of view on the radio. I wish they were better known. But nowadays good artists don't need the radio. They have their social media and online resources, but their voices need to be heard first. Their points of view analized. I think that's why I usually showcase queer artists on this blog. Representation matters, am I right?

So this is Jada Michael. A week ago I did not know anything about her and today I'm looking on iTunes to see if I can get her music (alas, no, but she's got a SOUNDCLOUD) and you can get her songs on her webiste. Because I can appreciate someone who's going for what they want. And Jada is doing it, honey.

XOXO



P.S. Here's another song to get you in the mood for summer:
