Queer Jams of the Week: New Music From Charlotte Day Wilson, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Towa Bird & More
Welcome to Queer Jams of the Week, featuring new pride music from Charlotte Day Wilson, Hurray for the Riff Raff & more.
Throughout Charlotte Day Wilson’s new single “I Don’t Love You” — the first offering off her upcoming album Cyan Blue — the singer-songwriter presents a sobering meditation on the healing power of heartbreak. Defiant, but without overt aggression, King Isis lets her impressive voice do the heavy lifting, as she chants a tongue-in-cheek incantation to her would-be oppressor: “Spare me from those awful sounds/ Oh baby, can he save you now?” Bursting with lush instrumentation (drums, bass and guitars are joined by an entire string section throughout the track), “Body” sees Monét leaning all the way into romance as her sonorous voice declares that she’s done chasing one-night-stands.
