Happy Pride Month, y'all! Even without parades and festivals, there are still plenty of opportunities for us to show and share our pride this season. Supporting LGBTQ+ musicians should be close to the top of the list.
In the 2010s, Frank Ocean paved the way for queer black male musicians. In the 2020s, Lil Nas X took the initiative and ran with it. In between the two, you will find the brilliant
serpentwithfeet (aka Josiah Wise).
Deacon (Secretly Canadian), the second full-length serpentwithfeet album, is sexy, sly, seductive and spiritual, often in the same song. "Malik" and "Same Size Shoe" are ideal illustrations of this.
