Our girl Pink is back and showing off her best dance moves on her vibrant, disco-infused single “Never Gonna Not Dance Again,” and its video, which dropped in early November. The video opens with Pink shopping at a grocery store while roller-skating through the aisles, wearing a colorful outfit as she mocks a misbehaved little girl throwing a tantrum.
“I’m never going to not dance again,” Pink sings in the catchy chorus, as two other roller skaters join in as she rolls past the tortilla aisle, singing how she wishes her life was “a Whitney Houston song.” I mean WHO DOESN’T WISH their life was a Whitney Houston song, am I right?
The song matches the throwback vibe, with horns filling out the chorus (and a bongo break!) like it’s straight from the ’70s. This jam is Pink’s first new song since her 2021 documentary All I Know So Far.
The fabulously outspoken LGBTQ ally Betty Who has spent the last decade becoming an elemental characteristic to her brand — an Amazonian pop force she describes as “sixty percent lesbian singer-songwriter, forty percent Britney Spears superfan.” On stage, she entrances as a statuesque (6’2”) blonde who’s become a staple figure on the Pride circuit and a must-see performer – known for her energetic, dance-heavy show, coupled with gorgeous muscled backup dancers, costume changes and limitless celebrations of queer joy.
On her fourth album, BIG, the Australian-American singer-songwriter takes on a new message that’s far more personal. The song titled “Big” encapsulates the entire theme of the record which is coming to terms with who you are and the hand life has dealt you.
“I’m allowing myself to be seen,” she says. “It feels like the journey to BIG has been gruesome. It’s like that shedding of snakeskin. It’s not, like, painless in the middle of the night for me. It’s like the Hulk ripping off clothes, like, fully screaming as I’m becoming my final form.”
In honor of Christine McVie, keyboardist and co-lead vocalist for Fleetwood Mac, I’d like to share one of her most well-known and without a doubt, most beautiful works of art.
As one-fifth of the iconic band, some of Fleetwood Mac’s greatest songs written by McVie included “Songbird,” “You Make Loving Fun,” “Little Lies,” “Don’t Stop” and many more. Rest In Power, legend.
To you I’ll give the world. To you I’ll never be cold. ‘Cause I feel that when I’m with you. It’s alright, I know it’s right. And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score. And I love you, I love you, I love you. Like never before.
