Singer Darren Hayes is a total ‘Homosexual.’ (Courtesy photo) A smattering of what’s going on in music by LGBTQ artists and the artists we love. Alt-pop singer and feminist Devon Cole drops “Hey Cowboy” The new single from Cole is out today along with the video premiere that includes one fabulous gay pool party. “‘Hey Cowboy’ is a song where I’m embracing my sexuality (and my affection for cowboys).
I love songs that are a little flirty, a lot flirty. It’s downright fun to own my sexual appetite and sing freely about it. I get fired up (in a good way) hearing women sing candidly and unapologetically about sex.
Especially when it’s raunchy. ‘Hey Cowboy’ is the first song of mine where I’m stepping into that,” Cole said in Friday’s song announcement.
Previously, Cole’s single “W.I.T.C.H.” has tallied 33 million streams to date. Billboard stated that the single “bounces along with a natural confidence that sells the radio-ready hook and puts its feminist message first.” Watch “Hey Cowboy” below: Darren Hayes from Savage Garden new album Homosexual out now Breaking away from what he describes as the “controlling image” of a major label at the beginning of his career, Hayes is reclaiming his truth.
