“WOOHOO” by Grant Knoche

The self-proclaimed “male Tate McRae” smashes back onto the queer pop scene with “WOOHOO,” a slick, sexy anthem produced by Knoche himself—proof that this bi king has the range, the looks, and the hooks to dominate the main pop boy category.

“I FORGOT” by VINCINT 

Queer pop powerhouse VINCINT is no stranger to a banger, and his latest release “I FORGOT” is no exception. “For any ex in your life who has treated you badly, this song is for you,” he declared during his debut performance of the track at MTV Live: Queer Music Week. Don’t believe us? Hit play and see for yourself.

“Cry, Cry, Cry” by King Princess 

“Cry Cry Cry” is a snarling kiss-off that finds King Princess torching a failed situationship over blistering guitars and scathing one-liners (“Sometimes two divas create an explosion”). It’s a sharp left turn from the tenderness of “RIP KP” and a reminder that queer rage can be cathartic and catchy. Her new album Girl Violence drops September 12, and if this track’s anything to go by, it’s coming for blood.

“Ceiling” by Roméo Elvis, Oscar and the Wolf 

Belgian queer superstar Oscar and the Wolf teams up with Roméo Elvis for the breezy summer anthem “Ceiling,” where Elvis slides on the track with a French rap amongst glossy production. It’s giving luxury poolside melancholy wrapped in synth-y shimmer and a hypnotic beat that begs for a repeat spin.

“On My Own” by Nai’a 

Nai’a’s latest track swan-dives into queer longing with reverberant, operatic vocals that feel as vast as the ache at its core. It’s about mistaking comfort for connection and clinging to someone just to dodge the loneliness you swore you’d outgrow. It’s a vulnerable and cinematic track, that feels like heartbreak in slow motion.

“Ni Tú Te La Crees” by Los Socios Del Ritmo, Raymix

Raymix, the openly gay king of electrocumbia, teams up with Los Socios del Ritmo on “Ni Tú Te La Crees”—a hip-shaking anthem with a sizzling beat that calls out your ex with a not-so-subtle read.
