As Drag U gets under way, how perfect that last season’s winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race would have her debut video premiere. Raja (Sutan Amrull) debuted the video for her new single “Diamond Crowned Queen” on Friday. Even though the video is rather simple, it’s not shy on racy and sexy. In a myriad of outfits, Raja runs with the edgy drag shtick and even shows up without it. Although that I didn’t like. It kinda took me out of the illusion and Raja creates striking looks that are easy to stare at.
The song itself reminds me of a cross between early Nine Inch Nails and Jeffree Star. I think the song lacks some hook, but she’s definitely not delivering the obvious, which I can appreciate.
Wait, you “appreciate” this but you hated the Kylie Minogue concert? You truly have exquisite taste.
Don’t wanna put words in Rich’s mouth, but I think he’s saying he appreciates that Raja’s single is not the “norm” sugary gayclub sounding dance single one would expect from a drag queen….or from Kylie Minogue.
