Hey there! So, have you heard the news? Queen Priyanka, the fabulous reigning monarch of *Canada’s Drag Race* fame, just dropped her brand-new album, *Devastatia*. And let me tell you, this is not just any album—this is a hyper-pop extravaganza crafted by someone who’s had their fair share of glitter and grit! I mean, we’re talking about a drag queen turned pop superstar, ready to strut her stuff and remind everyone that she’s not just a pretty face in sequins and wigs.
Okay, so the opening track is a total earworm, titled “I’m a Star.” It’s that anthem we all need in our life—actually, scratch that—every day should start with a catchy self-empowerment anthem blasting through your speakers; it’s practically science! Imagine looking in the mirror, maybe while you’re fighting with your bedhead, and saying, “You are good enough. Now look in the mirror and say, I’m a star!”
Priyanka worked hard on this gem for like… two whole years! Yep, two years since her last EP *Taste Test*. She shares that she’s used to those fast-paced content drops where everything feels like it’s on a conveyor belt. But this time, slow and steady wins the race. Reflecting on her journey, she admitted to *The Hollywood Reporter* that she had to navigate some seriously rough patches along the way—hungry for that self-expression in the face of life’s curveballs.
And she gets super real with us. You know that feeling when you’re trying to be strong but deep down, you’re like, “Whoa, did I just write a song called ‘No New Friends’?” Yeah, it’s not just catchy; it’s relatable! Who hasn’t been there, right? Moments where you’re like, “Wow, I really have been through some stuff!” And let’s not forget “Shut It Down,” another track where she’s firmly waving goodbye to the toxic folks in her life. It’s a vibe, folks!
Priyanka even pokes fun at herself, saying she used to roll her eyes at artists saying albums are like “pages out of their diaries,” especially when the songs were about partying it up and chugging down drinks. Now she’s totally in that club (no pun intended) and gets it. That realization hits hard, kind of like an unexpected shot of espresso!
The beauty of *Devastatia* is that it’s genuinely Priyanka. Forget those tired old stereotypes about drag queens just regurgitating the same ‘ol music. She made a conscious decision to witness her life through her own unique lens, and oh boy, does it show! “You want me in a box?” she muses. “Nah, I’ll throw that idea right back at you!” And who wouldn’t want that attitude in their playlists? She’s diving deep with lyrics that expand beyond the sparkle and sequins—talking about personal experiences and self-discovery.
And here’s where it gets really juicy. Priyanka’s stepping out on her own with a tour across Canada and the U.S. Yeah, you read that right! But steer clear of the notion that this is a walk in the park. She’s without a manager—so, like, all the behind-the-scenes work and planning? Yep, it’s all on her. Can we get a round of applause for determination? Sometimes you realize the major pop stars were right: if you want something done, do it yourself. Even if it means struggling through some late night planning sessions fueled by your favorite takeout.
Now, Priyanka had an opportunity to hop on one of those drag queen cast tours but ultimately decided to carve out her own path. And guess what? She practically shared that by choosing herself, she might actually be taking a financial hit with this choice. But you know what? Sometimes you’ve got to lose a little to gain a lot, if you know what I mean.
It’s a learning experience, and you can practically feel Priyanka’s excitement through the pages as she continues to navigate this crazy life! She shared the lightbulb moment of her journey, understanding how the two facets of her identity—Priyanka the drag queen and Priyanka the pop star—coexist. Spoiler alert: They are different, but also so very much intertwined!
Now let’s get real for a hot second here. Her time on the acclaimed HBO series, *We’re Here*, left an impression on her that’s changed her approach to life. Watching queer kids in small towns needing to break free while she chose the city life caused her to reflect hard. “I’m a bitch because I moved to the big city,” she considers. But guess what? You do you, Priyanka! Your authenticity shines through in the work you create.
And there’s the whole touring life to think about. Can you even imagine the amount of planning, energy, and heart that goes into putting on a show? It’s no joke! You know those super-ambitious people we sometimes love to hate? Well, Priyanka is the person looking in the mirror and saying they’re a star… all while juggling spreadsheets and sound checks!
So as we gear up for all the fabulousness that’s sure to come from Priyanka and *Devastatia*, don’t forget to support your girl! Head over to your favorite music streaming site, give that album a jam, and remember to tell your friends about it. Seriously, we all need some new bops in our lives, and this one is dripping with perfection! Sharing is caring, right?
