Luxe nor London was on a few seasons ago on the American Drag Race. Luxe was a standout, of course. And Luxe has a great voice. And Luxe is out recording and putting out music. And this is the brand new track. And as I said, it was called Cherry Red Mustang. Now speaking of Drag Race, there is no shortage. We are into, let's try to count it down.

5:00I've been watching a lot of Drag Race lately and just trying to get caught up. So we have the American one still happening. Still out there. We're getting close to the finale. We're not there yet, though. We have UK versus the world, currently also happening. And they have announced Canada's first All Stars. So that's exciting. And I have spoken with our friend Zara Matrix, drag queen extraordinaire here in Eastern Canada in Halifax, Nova Scotia. And we hopefully, once we know the dates of the actual Canada's All Star Drag Race, we're going to be doing a little weekly catch up of the show and kind of doing an overview of what happens in each episode. That is the plan anyway. And I think it's a pretty good plan. But one of the things that you can check out too is the Out Loud podcast. And I recently sat down with Craig Pike, who is the founder of Craig's Cookies here in Canada. And if you don't know what Craig's Cookies are,

6:01you need to look to see if there's one near you. Dilish, dilish, dilish. I will say, there's gluten free, there's vegan, there's regular, but they're all good. And as somebody who's celiac, I can attest to the fact that you can't stop with one. That's all I will say. But we sat down and we were chatting in one of the things I asked him was about. The fact that Canada's Drag Race All Stars would be coming, would we be seeing, you know, maybe some drag inspired cookies to which he said he could not confirm anything, but perhaps so. So you can check that episode out right now wherever it is that you listen to podcasts, search for Out Loud Queer Creatives Podcast. All right, let's get into your first set of music, shall we? We've had a fantastic song off the top and now we're going to get into four more that are going to get you moving and grooving ready for a whole lot more that's coming this episode. So here we go. In this first set of music, we are going to check out some brand new soul. We're going to check out the title track,

7:03Wrong Side of Midnight from the brand new album, Wrong Side of Midnight. And I really dig saw as a hip hop artist, as a rapper, as an R&B artist, all around so strong. So you're going to love this. We're also going to take a swing through Toronto and check out some new Fox Revit who just had a show in Toronto. I was supposed to be there, but because of what is happening provincially here in Nova Scotia with our budget, I had to cut my mini vacation off and stay put. So I missed the show, but I will be making a trip to Toronto soon to check out other shows. We also are going to check out in this set, brand new Moirin Claire and they are collaborating with Noah Malcolm on a new track called Two Word Answers, Moirin Claire from Halifax right here at home and Noah Malcolm from PEI. So it is an Atlantic Canadian collaboration. We're here for it, we're living for it, we're loving it. But we're going to start things off with somebody else who I just recently had on

8:05the Outlawed podcast. My good friend, my buddy, one of my faves from Los Angeles, glass battles. He said in the podcast he was gearing up for brand new music, lots of new music coming this year and this is the second single from his new music and we are going to listen to Devil Dance. And if you're out there and you have anything to do with the Netflix show Wednesday, I feel like you have found your new song for Wednesday for a dance scene of some sort in this song, Devil Dance. All right, so Saul, Fox Revit, Moirin Claire with Noah Malcolm and Glass Battles, all right here for you on Outlawed. Don't go anywhere. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

16:30days, a thousand hours, and I just hold an eye I spent most of this year, a thousand tears, a thousand fears to wash myself all clear A thousand lights, a thousand lines, just to find that I still hold an eye We don't talk to each other like we're people no more We just dropped all our happiness and stained all the floors I know we could fix a baby, but I know I need my space I just don't feel safe enough to keep holding on

17:38Am I just hold an eye? I see your face around, and strangers faces in the crowd I catch my breath somehow, but even with our distance now, I make my sorrowful vow No holding on But we don't talk to each other like we're people no more We just dropped all our happiness and stained all the floors I know we could fix a baby, but I know I need my space

18:40I just don't feel safe enough to keep holding on Am I just hold an eye? We don't talk to each other like we're people no more We just dropped all our happiness and stained all the floors I know we could fix a baby, but I know I need my space I just don't feel safe enough to keep holding on

19:46Am I just hold an eye? This used to be my favorite time of the morning You used to call me every night until the morning Stayed up for hours, now I'm locked here Because I didn't want to miss the time you were calling Staying until the day's just too far the night I guess I've built a phone and he's my outside night I never know, and that I played a fool Let go, let go, watch your heart beats next to mine

20:46And you hold on, you hold on, and you never told me why Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark I guess that's what I get and I know I let you go But every night I still forget, I still forget Let go, let go, watch your heart beats next to mine

21:46And you hold on, you hold on, and you never told me why Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark I guess that's what I get and I know I let you go But every night I still forget, I still forget Let go, let go, watch your heart beats next to mine And you hold on, you hold on, and you never told me why Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark I guess that's what I get and I know I let you go But every night I still forget, I still forget Let go, let go, watch your heart beats next to mine And you hold on, you hold on, and you never told me why

22:46Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark Stop side of midnight, boy love be after dark I guess that's what I get and I know I let you go But every night I still forget, I still forget Let go, let go, watch your heart beats next to mine And you hold on, you hold on, and you never told me why You know that feeling when you find your people?

Welcome back to Out Loud Everyone. We have still so much for you in store in terms of music, this show, so buckle up because we're going to get into it. But beforehand, I do want to remind you I mentioned in the first set that there's the

24:51Out Loud podcast. Please go and check it out wherever it is that you listen to podcasts, search for Out Loud Queer Creatives podcast. Lots of guests happening over there. I've already mentioned Craig Pike and Glass Battles. I've got Brooklyn Dorn, Karen Connolly. Lots of singer-songwriters, some entrepreneurs, some writers. We are getting into all of the creatives that are out there and we want to support them and make people aware of them. And please go check out the artists that we talk to and check out in your own areas wherever it is that you find out who the queer creatives are and support them. You know, we can't wait for others to uplift our community. We have to do it together and it really is a team, effort, folks. We're all in this together. So check them out. And if there's artists out there that you think I should know about, please let me know. Slip into the DMs. Always open.

25:51At the queue reviews, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, let me know who I should be listening to if you think that I'm missing out on somebody or if you think somebody would make a really great guest. Let me know about it. I try my best to accommodate whoever I can. I am one person. I do this all on my own and radio shows and podcasts. Plus I do have an actual regular job. But I try to make as much room as possible to be able to support folks. If I can't get to them right away, I will get to them eventually and I will make some kind of magic happen. Or at least I will dang well try. All right, that is my public service announcement for the show, I guess. So we're going to get you some more new music because that's what you're here for, right? Not for my yammering. Well, maybe some of you are entertained by it. And if you are, bless you, all right. Let's get some more music on the go. Next set coming up, we've got four more in a row and it is featuring from South Africa, the wildly talented Armageu Bear with his latest

26:56called mine and Armonsings in Afrikaans quite a bit. And this mine song is spelled M-Y-N-E. So if you're going to search for it and you really like it, M-Y-N-E by Armonsu Bear. We're also going to zip over to the UK and check out the brand new release from Young Eden Hunter. She's got a new song out and it's called The Circus Man. And she's somebody who I think people need to pay way more attention to because she's got lots going on and she's pretty stellar. So Eden Hunter is The Circus Man in this set. We are also going to check out the latest from Fox L. Fox L is an American trans artist and Fox L's latest song is called Complicated. Another one people need to be paying attention to. But we're going to start things off right here at home again with the brand new song from singer, songwriter, producer, musician, the incredible Atlanta Maddie, new song The Process. The star just keeps rising higher and higher and higher and that can't say enough about the

28:01quality of songwriting that Atlanta puts into her music. It's just sublime. So here we go, Armonsu Bear, Eden Hunter, Fox L and Atlanta Maddie. Right here all for you, I'm out loud. We're running out of time. Too busy trying to read between your lines and it's too late to go black and change my way. Was I holding to tight because I thought you gave me worth and I'm tired of trying

29:08and I'm tired of hurting myself in process. I think about reaching out. I don't know if you would listen or just words in my mouth. I kept all your secrets. I held all your pain in my heart. You have everything. And I'm tired of trying and I'm tired of hurting myself in process.

30:19Maybe one day you'll call and I will answer, we'll both cry and say we wish it ended faster. We could lie about that night in Toronto when we kissed in the basement by the storm. When we thought we had the answers to it, when we thought we had the answers to it. We could lie about that night in Toronto when we kissed in the basement by the storm.

31:47I don't want to let it let you down. I don't want to run away from something good. I don't want to get it, get you down. I don't want to be the blame is understood for heaven's got a closed door. Some things I just know more knowing it goes on and on and on and on and on. Hear me, oh just believe me, it's too risky but you got me thinking about you lately. Why do I think love is complicated? Maybe I should try because all the time was worth the waiting. Wait up, I got my mind made up, I got my mind turned up, you got my mind thinking all about you lately.

32:57I don't need, I don't need another one, rinse, repeat, repeat, just another one. I don't need, I don't need another love, I don't need, I don't need another love. I will never be alone here. I'm not on my own here. I have found my home near here, here, here. Hear me, oh just believe me, it's too risky but you got me thinking about you lately. Why do I think love is complicated? Maybe I should try because all the time was worth the waiting. Wait up, I got my mind made up, I got my mind turned up, you got my mind thinking all about you lately.
