Jake Trevor’s song “Boyfriend” is a “NSFW, gay-sex-positive, electropop heater”
NYC electropop artist Jake Trevor releases his explicit new single “Boyfriend” on Friday. According to his publicity, the song “conjures images of shirtless men writhing in steamy, dark back rooms or clandestine raves.” Now release the video already!
“Gay sex was a forbidden topic until recently,” Trevor said in a press release. “So much so, that it used to be thought of as a mental illness. It was something that you were supposed to feel shame about, even when it feels so right on the inside. I want to normalize homosexuality. I wanted to make a vulgar and shameless song that felt equally fun and unsafe to listen to. I’m not telling people to cheat, but I wanted the song to feel shocking.”
His eponymous EP will be out May 24. Listen to “Boyfriend” below:
Oscar-nominated actor Kate Hudson enters her pop star era with “Talk About Love”
Actor Kate Hudson previews her debut album with this dance-pop single and video. Her first record, Glorious, is set to drop on May 17.
“I wanted something that was sexy and delicious, vulnerable and strong, willing and fearless – and especially gloriously in love with the way life takes you on this journey if you’ll just show up and be open. I wanted songs that could reach across all that, and that is a lot to cover,” she said in a press release.
