Part 3 of ICYMI June Releases: The best batch yet includes new gay music, comedy, and video content pulled from the huge number of releases all tied to June, Pride month. Included: Michelle Visage from Drag Race steps out with the group Steps and they’ve released the very catchy ‘Heartbreak in this City’; Jake Shears teams with Boys Noize on ‘All I Want’ and released a song from his upcoming solo album. Jessie J released what is possibly the big gay song of the summer and, while unexpected, we’re happy to have this Coldplay video. Check it out.
Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears.
Designed for the dance floor, “All I Want” is a sizzling, club-ready cut with unmistakeable vocals, clean synth work and a steady bassline. The track is as infectious as they come boasting hooks left and right
Give it to me! The song comes complete with an official music video, which is an unusual ride in itself.
Boys Noize shares of the music video concept:
When I thought about a video for this song, the idea about reversing the lyrics ‘all I want is you’ was the first thought. People obsess so much about their body, their look, their social profiles, their “likes”, and it becomes more important than everything else. I was a fan of Dan Streit’s previous work and focus on unique fringe characters, so I contacted him and presented him the idea for this video, he loved it and took it to the next level. “I love myself, look at me, look at my photos, look, people actually like me!”
Flight Facilities feat. Channel Tres, Lights Up
Once again demonstrating his position as one of the most essential collaborators (and standalone voices) in current dance music, Channel Tres saunters onto Lights Up his new collaborative single with Flight Facilities and turns the track on a low simmer that heats up into a delicious all-out disco swirl. While the strings pay homage to legendary haunts like Paradise Garage, the venerable Aussie duo also layer up the synth and kick drum, adding, they say in a statement some 90’s and 00’s elements to give the song its own character and prevent it entry from the derivative zone. Meanwhile, Tres insistent refrain of got the whole city blowin up demonstrates, as Flight Facilities continue in their statement, that his voice has a magical ability to make songs that are made for strutting. Turn this one up and do your own sashay into the clubscape of your mind.
