Monét X Change Is Changing the Game When It Comes to Drag Music

Monét X Change is unlike any other drag queen to come out of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ and that’s because her talents go so far beyond just drag. Sure, you may know her as the first queen of color to win RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars or from her crazy popular podcast Sibling Rivalry, which she co-hosts with her drag sister, Bob The Drag Queen. But now you’re about to know her as a R&B superstar with her new album, ‘Grey Rainbow Vol. 1.’ Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott chatted with Monét about the inspiration of the album, how it’s different from drag music, and why she thinks the music industry needs to take drag artists seriously.  Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
