Five to follow
I always try to give my money and my clicks to LGBTQ artists and musicians. Always. I think it's the only thing that the algorithms that brainless companies like YouTube, Facehook (thanks, Bob) and the such understand. That's also why I always post them here. One click means a lot for these artists and I'm happy to oblige. Talent is talent.
Also, most LGBTQ artists move in a circle that looks nothing like the circle in which commercial musicians like Gaga or Taylor Swift or Drake move in. The LGBTQ artist depends in a cottage industry that allows them to flourish and be productive. They don't have huge PR firms behind them helping them craft an image or slick production teams cracking out slick videos. Besides, in the times of COVID-19, their main revenue -live music- is basically non-existent. So yeah, I've bought their MP3s and I give them likes on IG and YouTube.
So here's five of the LGBTQ artists I have found myself most attracted to lately. Whether because their visuals are stunning or their lyrics super cool, or because their sound is sick, these five artists I think deserve a following. Give them a listen. Who knows? You may find your next fav here...

Arca. Because there’s nobody like her making music. Nobody.
Chaz Cardigan. Remember him from the gummy bear filled tub? I do.
Chika. She’s also been on this blog. She sang for the class of 2020 in that virtual commencement that also had President Obama. Super cool.
Mikky Blanco. We say where this artist lives. Also, I posted about her collab with Shea Couleé and we saw her house here!
Troye Sivan. Ever since Bloom, he’s grown up a lot. And I'm a fan.
So that's that. Hope you enjoyed them (even if they're not rock and roll)!!
XOXO

That’s quite an eclectic selection. Though I can’t say they all appeal to me there were a few that I did like. But we don’t grow if we don’t experience new things, do we. Thanks for exposing us to these artists, babe.

DeleteYou know I like all kinds of music. And out there's something for everybody. I thought these five are super cool.
XOXO
Love hearing new artists, especially if they are members of the community. Troye is easily one to watch. I hope he gains the traction he deserves. Mykki's cute and I like his vibe. Very original. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteThere's so many talented LGBTQ+ artists! I want to support them all, but I can't. LOL
Troye is great! I have his last album. Mykki has been doing some amazing work and collabs. She was also in Madonna's video for Dark Ballet.
XOXO
Well, now I need to check these out .....
ReplyDeleteHaha
DeleteI bet you'll find something you like.
XOXO
I liked Mykki Blanco. And that was before I saw his photo that followed. I'm starting to get into face ink more and more......
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteVery attractive. And a very eclectic sound. Very artsy.
And I have something coming up about my changing perspectives when it comes to tattooed men, too..
XOXO
I was mostly into Chaz Cardigan and Troye Sivan. They are close to what I like. I have never and very few times can take rap. Rap and country...... I definitely need to be in a certain mind frame to listen to. All thought that being said love Miranda Lambert and Lil Kim and Tweet. Fickle queen.
ReplyDeleteOh, Chaz and Troye are very accessible. They should get more airplay. I like hiphop more than rap, like Chika. I like the rhythm. Country... I like some of the old-school country. And aren't we all fickle queens?
DeleteXOXO
Chaz Cardigan needs to get put on my playlist, he's... kind of rock and roll.
ReplyDeleteYes, he needs to be there.
DeleteGo buy his album!
XOXO
