Hometown Sounds

In April of 2017 Be Steadwell gave us a full length album called Breakup Songs, brimming with heartache and regret. This year is turning out quite differently for the queer pop singer. Queer Love Songs, Steadwell’s new album that drops this Saturday, features many more collaborations and a fuller sound thanks to a grant from the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice. In addition to new songs lionizing love of many varieties, some old songs get fresh versions, including the hook-laden “Netflix” and “Sometimes”, about a relationship with a non-binary person. Kisha Hopwood presents ASL translations in this music video, furthering a theme of deep communication about Steadwell’s emotions and her world. Celebrate this new release with her Saturday night at Strathmore’s AMP venue.
