Self-proclaimed “glimmer rock” artist Vienna Vienna has followed his debut EP, last year’s Wonderland, with a defiant, inclusive new single, “God Save the Queens.” RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 contestant Salina Es Titties makes a cameo appearance in the accompanying video, which was directed by Jay St. James.
On the inspiration behind the song, Vienna Vienna says, “JOY!! DO YOU HEAR ME??? JOY!!!! There are too many sad stories about us Queens. We deserve a chance to smile. Fuck subtlety — I want it bold, and I want it now! The amount of people who died fighting for the right to be themselves is uncountable. I’m sick of waiting around for the respect they’re never going to give us. I’m over being afraid of lust and life. I’m done holding my hands up to the sky, and asking the man-made version of Christ to love me. I’m pissed. But in all of this, in all of my worn-out grievances, the one that churns the most unrest is knowing how they laugh at us, all while wearing those fucking cargo shorts. With no apology, ‘God Save The Queens’ points the finger right back at them. Corny bitches.”
