Queer Music News is a smattering of what’s going on in music by LGBTQ artists and the artists we love. In the Monthly Mixtape, these are the new songs that captured our fancy in the past weeks.
Y’all, it is tough keeping up with the slew of new music releases by queer artists — and that’s a good problem to have. Here’s a wrap up of what we’ve received in recent days.
Kim Petras dropped her new EP Slut Pop Miami on Valentine’s Day
The Grammy-winning pop star dropped her new, sex positive EP which serves as the sequel to her 2022 viral EP Slut Pop.The EP has Petras continuing her observations on the double-standards male and female sexual expression. She does that with songs like “Gag On It,” “Rim Job” and “Butt Slutt.”

Lorelei K kicked off the new year with a new single
Sorry we were late to the game on this one. We love our North Texas band and frontwoman Dahlia Knowles and they got 2024 off to a fabulous start. The band dropped its newest single “Axe and Tree” on Jan. 26 along with a new video.
“This song is like no other we’ve ever release,” Knowles stated on social media. “”It’s more personal, more stripped down, extremely intimate and dark than ever.”
She added that the song serves as a letter to her father when Knowles was in a mental health facility.
“Sometimes all I can do with my thoughts is to trap them into a song,” she wrote. “I’m really prout of it.”
