Jinkx’s call to action, Diplo takes Madonna’s ex to the rodeo, Céline returns & more: Your weekly bop roundup
Let’s dive into this week’s roundup and see what the girls had to offer us this week!The Queen of All Queens has returned with a powerful message in the form of a new version of “The Lavender Song.” Originally written in the 1920s by Kurt Schwabach and Mischa Spoliansky, this German cabaret song was widely considered one of the world’s first queer anthems, crafted during the 1920s queer renaissance period prior to Nazi Germany’s persecution of LGBTQ+ communities. Now, Jinkx Monsoon has released a new version produced by Major Scales, and it comes at an opportune time, with its message being a call to action to fight back against the current anti-drag and anti-trans bills being pushed by conservatives in the US.
