Alaska at Trees

Alaska Thunderfuck knows that many people consider the term “drag queen music” to be derogatory. It’s usually used to invoke overly simplistic dance pop with lackluster lyrics and more than one mention of “snatching a crown.” But the reality is drag queens have much to offer as musicians — and few artists better encapsulate the possibilities of “drag queen music” than the legendary Drag Race all-star, who has released three Billboard-charting solo studio albums to date: Anus, Poundcake, and Vagina. Her newest album, Red 4 Filth, out today from Producer Entertainment Group, is a sonic tour of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Turn it on and you’ll automatically be enveloped in the tight production and rhythms that characterized the output of superstars like Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, or Christina Aguilera.
