This ballad is very melancholy and may even make you cry, but it never feels too cheesy or sentimental in its delivery. We love their 2019 song "Wish You Were Gay." While Billie Eilish's "wish you were gay" is meant for the straights, this "Wish You Were Gay" actually hits hard if you're a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Just like MUNA, Claud is a part of Phoebe Bridgers' Saddest Factory Records. Additionally, the song features members of the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles. Despite the music video being made in 2017, we feel it's worth mentioning due to the fact that video proceeds are still being donated to the Ali Forney Center, which supports homelessness and LGBTQ+ youth. If you like tunes similar to Kelly Clarkson's, Jordin Sparks', Leona Lewis', or Katy Perry's, you'll probably feel compelled to add this to your Pride playlist. "Don't Give Up" is an inspirational pop ballad about not giving up on your own identity. If you've seen the film But I'm a Cheerleader, you'll get a kick out of it. Also, the music video for this song is wonderfully amusing. In the track, lead vocalist Katie Gavin and Phoebe Bridgers speak on the pure beauty and bliss of queer love, comparing the softness of their lover’s aura to the texture of silk chiffon. We feel their sapphic tune "Silk Chiffon" is best to blast out loud for Pride. We already mentioned MUNA in our 10 LGBTQ+ Artists You Should Know in 2022 list. Personally, it makes us feel "mighty real." 3. With sky-high vocals and a sound that's somewhere between 90s NYC underground dance hall vibes and retro 70s disco, "You Make Me Feel" will definitely have you feeling something. While this doesn't address LGBTQ+ issues or themes specifically, you can hear within this song's musical undertones that it was totally made for a kiki. "You Make Me Feel" - Solardo & ComanavagoĪ club-ready banger all about the bliss of love – in all its forms. This tongue-in-cheek tune has been a great addition to the pansexual Sawayama's catalogue, and we can't wait to hear the rest of the tracks on her upcoming sophomore album, Hold the Girl. It's catchy, has a cool country/rodeo edge in an otherwise sassy pop song, and makes fun of homophobic worldviews in a tasteful way. Rina Sawayama's "This Hell" has been playing everywhere this month, and we know why.


We don't care what anyone else says: this song has been the official Pride anthem of 2022. They'll be sure to get you in the celebrating mood! 1. In any case, we hope you enjoy this selection of tracks. Others have been around for a few years but are just now getting the recognition they deserve. The songs below will fit all of your Pride needs for 2022! Some of them are fresh-out-of-the-oven new.as in they're only a few days or months old.
