We also dish on RuPaul's new album Realness (due out March 2)
Quote:
Because you mention it… you have a new album coming out? Is that a brand-new album? What can we say about it?
It's a brand-new album and it's a bit of a departure because Lucian [Piane, who produced RuPaul's last three albums] has only done two songs on this record and I've visited some old friends. Like, I'm reunited with Eric Kupper, 22 years later. [Kupper produced RuPaul's debut album, Supermodel of the World, which includes RuPaul's iconic single "Supermodel (You Better Work)."]
What can we say about the album? Are there dance tracks? Are there ballads like last time [on Born Naked]?
Trust me. It's what's happening right now. I'm doing '90s house. [Laughs] I'm doing early '90s house/late '80s house beats. And Eric Kupper, you know, is the master of that. So we basically went back and took what was ours to begin with. You know, my marketing philosophy is: Someone turns 18 every single day… That's why the Kiesza album [Sound of a Woman] was so fresh to them.
Yeah, and Disclosure and Kiesza… they're referencing stuff from the past that's new to today's listeners, even though we know it's not that new. But it's still cool.
Right, right. So, the future belongs to those who can remember the past, and I certainly do.
Why does he not bother doing promo or videos? Like the album's dropping in a week and I just hear about it? In the end all he's gonna do is take the most popular track and use it for the top four on Drag Race with the others scattered towards the season.
, take notes from Adore.
