Lil Nas X - Days Before Dreamboy (EP)

he/him
Loooove the song! Video is super cute! And love that it’s all in that “world” of a white room that the other songs/videos lived in as well. Very obvious the label probably cut his budget, but it’s genuinely for the best from what I can see.

It’s currently number 4 on New Music Friday. Hopefully this does something. Could see it becoming a summer smash if it receives some push.
 
He/Him
This is good, maybe even great? I so want him to find his place in the landscape again and this sounds fresh and he’s hot in the video even if the barbie aesthetic feels exhausted by now.

I cannot imagine how difficult the last few years have been for him after coming down from those stratospheric heights he reached. The pressure he would’ve been under, especially as one of a criminally small number of black queer voices to breakthrough into the mainstream lexicon, can’t have been anything less than immense. And yes, I know he handled the outwards facing response to the homophobia and racism he had thrown his way with wit, grace and humour but there’s no way it didn’t bruise.

After a few false starts I hope he can see through this sound to another body of work and build from there.
 
Hotbox is so fun and I am loving the whole package, but I wish the chorus was punchier. I hope this will be a hit for him!
 
His best song since the Montero era. Huge bop! The only thing missing in the video was a make out sesh with the other guy but I guess they are making things more palatable to the straights this time around.
 
Love the song. The video is cute because he's adorable. I love when he leans in a bit to some feminine mannerisms. Being visibly queer these days is such a Fuck You to so many ignorant people who hate on him, and queer people in general. It makes me happy to see him, again, unafraid to be himself.
 


A fusion of OutKast's signature sound paired with the vibrant, bold aesthetics of Pink Friday’s visuals?!

Ate!

He’s just Ken, and I’m just a h*le.
