I was a fan of Danny Noriega from the 7th season of "American Idol" and I'm a loyal fan of "RuPaul's Drag Race". So I was very excited to see that Adore Delano was competing. Even though she didn't win the title of America's Next Drag Superstar, Adore Delano's star still shined bright making the Top 3. "Till Death Do Us Party" was released on June 3rd, 2014, coming in at #1 on the iTunes Dance Albums chart. PARTY!
1. Speak My Sex
The album opens with the fun party track "Speak My Sex". Unlike most of the drag queens who release music, "Speak My Sex" is actually a listenable, catchy, pop song. Even your straight friends will like it. "Speak My Sex" will be stuck in your head for days.
3/5
2. D T F
The official first single from "Till Death Do Us Party", "D T F" was released on iTunes on May 20th, 2014 along with its video on Youtube. A great party song about, well, being down to fuck. The chorus will replay in your head all day. As a first single I think it might be a bit much but never the less it's another solid pop song.
3/5
3. Party
In a nod to her catchphrase "Party!" on "RuPaul's Drag Race", Adore Delano releases a fantastic pop song that could bring her mainstream. The beat, the hook, the lyrics, it all comes together to make a great song that should have been the albums first single. Perfect for the summer parties, and a must have for every summer playlist.
5/5
4. I Adore U
The second single off "Till Death Do Us Party" is "I Adore U". "I Adore U" is a mid-tempo jam that Nicki Minaj will wish she had recorded. If Adore Delano had anything to prove, she proved it on this song. She is a force to be reckoned with.
5/5
5. Calling All Goddesses
"Calling All Goddesses" seems to be a tribute to the female pop stars of today. The song is club and party ready for this summer. While "Calling All Goddesses" is a good song, it's easily forgettable when compared to the rest of the album.
2/5
6. Jump the Gun
The 6th song off the album is "Jump the Gun" a laid back bop perfect for summer BBQ's. Good luck not singing "jump the gun / we got the boom boom bang" in your head and out loud for the next few days.
3/5
7. Give Me Tonight
"Give Me Tonight" is an 80's throw back in all the best possible ways. Adore Delano's voice sounds silky smooth and sexy on the track. The beat is everything. With retro style music on the rise, Adore Delano could strike gold if "Give me Tonight" is released as a single.
5/5
8. I Look Fuckin Cool (feat. Alaska Thunderfuck)
This is a club banger that is a guaranteed hit for the gay clubs. On "I Look Fuckin Cool" Adore Delano teams up with Alaska Thunderfuck to create what is now one of the best songs in drag music history. The song will give you life for weeks. Make sure to add it to your "getting ready" playlist, whether you are gay or straight.
5/5
9. Hello, I Love You
"Hello, I Love You" is a bubble gum pop "Fatal Attraction" starring Adore Delano as the psycho girlfriend, and she plays that character really well. This is a great pop song with a funny and catchy chorus. Add this song to all of your beach trip playlists! Your friends will love it too.
5/5
10. The Creeps
I'm not exactly sure what to say about "The Creeps". The chorus will definitely be stuck in your head, but otherwise the song is kind of all over the place, in the best way possible. All I can say is listen to it yourself and you be the judge. The beat is really good though.
3/5
11. My Address Is Hollywood
"My Address Is Hollywood" is a mid-tempo track about dreams and aspirations to be a star. It's the perfect way to end the album. Anyone with dreams of being a star will relate to the song. Adore Delano's vocals really get to shine on the song. Great for listening to while getting ready for a night out.
4/5
Final Thoughts:
"Till Death Do Us Party" is a solid album with no filler tracks. Gay or straight you will love it if you enjoy party music. Adore Delano is the first drag queen since RuPaul who actually has what it takes to make it mainstream, and I really hope she does.
Stand Out Tracks:
"Party", "I Adore U", "Give Me Tonight", "I Look Fuckin Cool", "Hello, I Love You", and "My Address Is Hollywood".
