As we head towards the end of the year, nothing seems to be stopping LGBTQIA talent from releasing banger after banger. This November, we can expect to hear some exciting new releases from all genres, spanning indie pop to rap. Whether you’re looking to keep tabs on your favourite queer artists or find the next album to obsess over, take a look at some of these exciting new releases to expect this month.
Ethel Cain – Punish
1 November
Queer icon and beloved performer Ethel Cain is back with another track which is sure to drive LGBTQIA fans wild. Entitled Punish, the single will act as the first release of her upcoming album Perverts, which is set for release in early January. Ethel is known best for her haunting lyrics, intense stage performances, and powerful vocals, and we can imagine that Punish will be no different.
Mxmtoon – Liminal Space
1 November
Bisexual singer mxmtoon is back with her third studio album Liminal Space. Following on from her last album Rising, she stated that this album reflected on the “turmoil” of the last two years and how to cope with the unknown. She has already released two tracks from the album: I Hate Texas and The Situation.
Claire Rousay – The Bloody Lady
8 November
Claire Rousay’s The Bloody Lady is an evocative 11-track album reimagining her score for Viktor Kubal’s 1980 animated film of the same name. Composed with granular synths, piano, and field recordings — including sounds from Bathory’s castle — the score layers eerie atmospheres with whimsy, capturing the film’s dark fairy tale vibe in a modern, ambient soundscape.
070 Shake – Petrichor
15 November
Following from her widely appreciated 2022 album You Can’t Kill Me, American rapper and singer 070 Shake is back with her third studio album Petrichor. Recently, she hit acclaim by featuring on Raye’s knockout hit Escapism.
