VIDEO: 'Drag Race' Alums Adore Delano and Alaska Look F*cking Cool
EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Two of the fiercest queens on the planet are coming together this month in the brattiest party anthem of the season.
"I Look Fuckin' Cool" by the wild child of drag Adore Delano and Alaska Thunderfuck (the alien queen who crash-landed on earth from the planet Glamtron) is the fifth single from Delano's top selling album, "Till Death Do Us Party." The song follows "DTF," "I Adore U," "Party," and "Hello, I Love You" - Adore Delano's first four smashes that launched "Till Death Do Us Party" to the #1 spot on the iTunes dance charts and made her the highest selling artist of any "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestant.
Along with the single, Adore Delano is announcing a partnership with the gay mobile app, Jack'd, featured in the song's music video. The music video for "I Look Fuckin' Cool" will first be exclusively available on Jack'd starting September 25 at 9 p.m. Eastern. The track will be available for purchase September 26 on iTunes and all major online retailers.
Produced by Killingsworth Recording Company, "I Look Fuckin' Cool" is a rowdy hip-hop inspired dance track where the pair unapologetically flip-the-bird at those who disrespect them for their unconventionality. These girls like the way they look! The video is set in a dystopian future, where an authoritarian, big-brother-like police force has enacted a coup 'de fashion. All fashion and individualized self-expression have been banned in lieu of a military-esque uniform, but there are those that disobey. A small gang of rebel-punks led by Adore and Alaska (the two most wanted by the regime) has begun to band together using a sophisticated network called Jack'd to connect with like-minded individuals.
"It's a bold, fiery, no-nonsense proclamation that we are all perfect exactly the way we are", says Adore Delano of her latest track. Delano admits that growing up in a suburb outside of Los Angeles, she was an outcast. "A dark horse in a dark horse community," she explains.
Her eclectic style reflects a fearless commitment at being herself at all times, whether as a "topless hooker draped in faux fur from the 80s" or as "a teenage queen with wigs 'n cigs."
She wrote "I Look Fuckin' Cool" as a way to share the liberation and passion she feels with her fans. "Drag is what I am born to do and I'm doing it no matter what anyone else says. I have always believed that if the world doesn't believe in you then fuck the world really good (with a condom of course) and make them change their minds."
Adore Delano is currently touring the world, promoting the album. She thanks Jack'd for keeping her from getting the lonely blues on the road. "I have a boyfriend now but that doesn't stop me using it," she reveals. "Jack'd is a great way to chat with fans. I get awesome local recommendations when I'm in a city I'm not familiar with and it's the perfect distraction when flights are delayed and I have some chill out time."
