Queer Jams of the Week: New Music From Halsey, Kaytranada, Omar Apollo & More


Welcome to Queer Jams of the Week, featuring new pride music from Halsey, Kaytranada and more

While Halsey has always had an aptitude for emotionally resonant songwriting, they managed to put something different in “The End.” On this stripped back acoustic single, Halsey lets the pain pour out of her, as her voices rises and falls with confessions about “poison in my blood” or that “once my God destroys the flesh, then there’s the flood.” As the singer continues to undergo serious medical treatment for their recently disclosed health issues, they’re not interested in just putting on a brave face — instead, they’d like you to see what that they’ve been dealing with. Kaytranada’s unmatched production work pairs flawlessly with a parade of guest stars including Childish Gambino (“Witchy”), Don Tolliver (“Feel a Way”) and Tinashe (“More Than a Little Bit”), making this new album the perfect party soundtrack. “MPH” puts the pedal to the metal right out of the gate, as Doechii spits out rapid-fire bars flexing her status as one of the hottest up-and-coming names in hip-hop.
