Can I Get An Amen...



Hold on to your wigs! RuPaul has climbed off his bedazzled throne to put some sass (and ass) back into pop music with new LP Born Naked (available February 24). The much-loved drag diva’s sixth album — seventh if you include Christmas classic Ho, Ho, Ho — is a high-camp blockbuster featuring the who’s who of underground-pop deities.

The concise ten-song set (Ru doesn’t fuck with long tracklists) includes collaborations with former Weather Girl/dance legend Martha Wash, Australian soul singer Clairy Browne and My Crazy Girlfriend vocalist Myah Marie. There’s even a cover — I assume — of Shannon‘s freestyle classic “Let The Music Play” with Michelle Visage. The first single will be "Geronimo".

Tracklist:

1. Freaky Money (feat. Big Freedia)
2. Sissy Dat Walk
3. Geronimo (feat. Lucian Piane)
4. Dance With U
5. Adrenaline (feat. Myah Marie)
6. Can I Get An Amen (feat. Martha Wash)
7. Fly Tonight (feat. Frankmusik)
8. Modern Love
9. Let The Music Play (feat. Michelle Visage)
10. Born Naked (feat. Clairy Browne)

Sadly, RuPaul has only released his albums and singles on CDR lately via Amazon.com. Still, they come with complete artwork so it's better then nothing. But it seems that the new one will not even be available that way on CD. A shame, since I really wanted to buy this album...

UPDATE:

Born Naked will be made available on vinyl, so I just might get an actual physical release of this album after all... Here is the video for "Geronimo".
