Nicky Buell’s latest album THE GAY AGENDA! is a triumphant representation of the LGBTQ+ experience. The Seattle-based artist’s album is a concept project with a track-list that chronicles queer culture with powerful lyrics, catchy melodies and memorable beats. Buell is fast establishing himself as one of the leading voices in the queer pop scene and this album is proof of his emerging talent.
The first track of the album is “CAMP”, a quintessential queer breakup hit, which perfectly sets the tone for the rest of the album. Buell wastes no time in letting his listeners know that they’re in for an immersive journey that captures the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community and makes a powerful statement that centres on the idea of embracing queer culture.
The record is filled with hook-driven writing, danceable rhythms and infectious melodies that stick in your head long after the music has stopped. Buell’s sound is reminiscent of artists like Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and John Legend, but with his own unique twist that sets him apart from the pack.
Buell’s collaborations on this album are also worth noting, with producer Phil Peterson, who’s previously worked with the likes of Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey, contributing to the project. His expertise and Buell’s creativity have combined to create an album that is an absolute joy to listen to, and one that is sure to put a smile on your face.
One of the most interesting aspects of the album is the way that it manages to be both personal and universal at the same time. While it is clearly rooted in the queer experience, the emotions and themes explored throughout the album are things that anyone can relate to. This is an album that celebrates love, joy, heartbreak and everything in between, with a message that is both empowering and inclusive.
Overall, THE GAY AGENDA! is a phenomenal new LP from Nicky Buell. The rising artist’s sound is fresh, vibrant and full of life, and it’s clear that he’s a talent to watch in the pop scene. This album is an absolute must-listen for anyone who loves great music and wants to celebrate the diversity of human experience.
