Building on last week’s article about La Grande Dame, let’s turn our attention to another standout from RuPaul’s Drag Race. Rosé, a Season 13 contestant renowned for their captivating runway appearances, quick witted retorts and exceptional soulful vocals. While Rosé has already made waves with their drag group “Stephanie’s Child,” featuring fellow queens Jan Sport and Lagoona Bloo, they are now embarking on a solo music journey, shedding their drag persona to present their authentic cis male self.
It’s easy to confuse the two talented artists named Rosé, (BLACKPINK sensation and the drag queen) especially when you see their names side by side. However, a listen to the music reveals their distinct styles and sounds. Drag Race star Rosé is making waves in the pop scene with their song “No Practice,” which showcases a soulful RnB direction. This transition illustrates boldness in leveraging RuPaul’s platform, positioning themself firmly on a vibrant musical trajectory. As Rosé steps into 2025, it’s clear that Rosé’s unique approach to pop deserves attention and may above all, redefine what we expect from drag queens in the music industry.
This infectious track undeniably channels the essence and aesthetic of George Michael. With captivating mannerisms and rich pop soundscapes, paired with sultry and evocative lyrics, it embodies the iconic traits we associate with George. The narrative centres on the journey to self-confidence and inspires listeners to find strength within themselves and one another. It celebrates the transformative power of self-belief, making it an empowering anthem that invites everyone to embrace their uniqueness and radiate their true selves.
Much like La Grande Dame, Rosé has roots in the creative and entertainment sectors, having made significant appearances in TV shows and theatrical productions. However, when considering how to build a mainstream presence, this development prompts us to reflect on a compelling topic – The boldness of drag queens leveraging RuPaul’s platform to launch their music careers. Is it audacious or just a natural evolution in the industry? The conversation is certainly worth having!
