Magic Hour

Scissor Sisters

A neon-lit collision of New York ballroom culture and global EDM. High-gloss dance-pop that balances cheeky drag slang with massive, synth-heavy festival hooks.

It's the ultimate 'getting ready to go out' record with at least one song that will definitely end up in a drag performance.

A high-gloss, theatrical celebration of nightlife that balances club-ready euphoria with sharp, ironic wit.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the deadpan instructional spoken word into the frantic house beat of Let’s Have a Kiki.

The massive, stadium-sized synth drop in Only the Horses that signals a pivot toward 2010s EDM.

The unexpected hip-hop swagger of Shady Love featuring Azealia Banks' rapid-fire delivery.
