Let's return to office hours at The Tortured Poets Department for the 15 songs making up the anthology!

Talented entertainer Dua Lipa has once again graced the world with new music. This time we have received an album full of beach vibes and club numbers just in time for summer. While it doesn't reach the highest highs of her past work, it's still a solid album with a lot to offer (and a messy promotional campaign).

Beyoncé unleashed act ii - Cowboy Carter on the world at the end of March and it blew me away. I had no expectations going into this challenging, amazing artistic statement and it took me several listens to digest and process what I was hearing, but this may be the best album she's ever released!

Come visit the first section of The Tortured Poets Department with me. This confessional, moody album from the one and only Taylor Swift is a triumph because of its imperfections, not in spite of them. She manages to explore new territory without completely abandoning the style and substance she's known for - and this is only Part 1! A video with Part 2 - The Anthology will be coming soon :)

This week on Diva Deep Cuts, we wander through the woods to find a deeper well with Kacey Musgraves' new album. Ms. Musgraves continues to carve a path for herself with earnest, personal lyrics and musings about life, love, and the universe on this new album. A Deeper Well finds her in more folk music territory rather than mainstream country, but the results are dreamy with stunning vocal arrangements and excellent guitar work across all the tracks.

This week we are taking a journey through the brand new Ariana Grande album - eternal sunshine. And let me tell you, it's a VIBE. She is grown, mature, and vulnerable about her divorce and new relationship.

Whitney Houston was one of the most talented and celebrated vocalists of all time. Her music touched many and her instrument was nearly unparalleled.

Multi-talented non-binary icon Janelle Monae has served music, movies, activism, and looks for over 15 years - so Diva Deep Cuts is celebrating her achievements so far in Episode 4 of Season 2. I hope you'll dance along and get lost in their sensational music as much as I have1

Most know her from her breakout hit "This Is Your Night" which spent nearly a year on the charts and was prominently featured in A Night at The Roxbury. But Amber is more than a dance diva (even though that is her social media handle) - her catalog is stunning and varied across genre and the spectrum of emotions. Join me as we walk through Amber's catalog to uncover songs tinged with Latin, rock, and acoustic elements among others! There is something in her catalog for every music lover to...

This week we are venturing through the vast and varied catalog of The Elusive Chanteuse dahhhlings!!!! The one and only Mariah Carey!

Janet Jackson has been my #1 pop diva since I was 11 years old (tied with Kylie Minogue), so I thought "what better way to kick off season 2 than with the favorites of my favorite?" Join me for this week's episode as we visit amazing songs from albums across Ms. Jackson's storied career!

Our finale of Season 1.5 spotlights skinny legend, multi-industry entrepreneur, and multi-instrumentalist Trixie Mattel!! She is unique among drag queens and queer musicians for recording in the folk and Americana genres (with dashes of mid-century Southern California rock for variety) rather than dance and pop. Join me as we zig zag through these musical styles to uncover the best deep cuts in the catalog of Ms. Mattel!

This week we are stepping through the best deep cuts by winner of Drag Race All-Stars Season 2 and self-proclaimed "rancid psycho b*tch" - Alaska Thunderf*ck 5000. She is one of the few queens who has sustained a successful recording career with a large enough catalog to qualify for Diva Deep Cuts inclusion. Join my in the weird and wonderful world of Alaska.

To celebrate Pride Month and the 30th anniversary of Supermodel of the World, let's journey together through the deep cuts from the one and only RuPaul! She has recorded a dozen albums over her career and there are many fun numbers to discover.
