ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I love this song!Sonically, it’s remarkably different from your last album.
Not all music needs to be a club bop to be fun and enjoyable.
For me, music is about my personal life.

[I’m telling] a story about how I’ve evolved.
People last saw me onDrag Raceas someone they considered broken and a victim.
Today, I live my life as a survivor.
The gap between that was finding love with someone else and myself.
My first album was written after I’d already been eliminated.
I usedthatmusic as therapy.
Since then, I’ve risen and grown as a person.
I’m excited to release it within the coming months.
It’s important to me, this being an exclusive launch with PEG, Warner Music, and ADA.
It’s important for me to capitalize on this momentum and not have definite labels behind what music is.
Music is music, and I don’t want someone to say it’sgaymusic orLGBTQmusic ordrag queenmusic.
This deal with PEG and Warner Music’s ADA is so important for queer representation, though.
Youhaveto call that out because it’s so significant for the community, right?There are mixed emotions.
Trixie, Alaska, Adore, and so many more have released great music in the community.
It’s a bridge to the next chapter of things I want to release.
With this new project, I wanted to collaborate with different songwriters.
That’s how the icons' albums come together.
You’re doing it on the Beyonce level.By nature, I’m an intellectual.
But, that’s not what’s popular today.
The main obstacle is learning to get over myself.
I hold myself captive by creating problems for myself in spite of other obstacles.
It all leads to this sexy video.
You’re climbing all up on this man, living your beach goddess fantasy.
Was that intimidating?I felt so comfortable.
I talked to my boyfriend beforehand about hiring an actor to basically be him.
I actually cried at one point during filming because it was so beautiful for me to do.
How did you find this model?There was an audition process.
I asked [the models] questions, like “What does love mean to you?”
or “Have you ever been in love?”
and “Is there a difference between sex and intimacy?”
It’s like, very contradictory, but very true!
Love is not math.
So, why would you give an answer to what love is?
That’s so deep.
Who wouldn’t swoon after that?I’m pretty sure he’s single.
Is he gay?He’s not!
He’s sweet, and I told him, “Baby, I’m not a real woman!”
But, I don’t think he cared.
I think that’s wrong.
I see and hear your opinion, that doesn’t mean I agree with you, sweetie.
At the end of the day, a cover girl is a cover girl!Absolutely I am!
You better shout that out to heaven.
And it won’t be the last time, either!
