'RuPaul's Drag Race' star Alaska Thunderf**k and Jeremy Mikush on their deep and familial friendship that led to 'Amethyst Journey'
For fans of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ Alaska Thunderf**k is the epitome of drag – a persona so much larger than life. Most of us fans obviously expected her to outshine herself once ‘Drag Race’ was over and that meant having her own web show – check – releasing songs which are mostly catchphrases – check – and making appearances on music videos and award shows – check. What we did not expect her to do was to release a soulful album that speaks of her innermost emotions and politics.
Staying true to her reputation of being outlandish she joined hands with her long-time family/friend Jeremy Mikush to do just that. Their latest album ‘Amethyst Journey’ is a powerful combination of folk, power ballad, and pop that gently prods you into thinking deeper, or as Jeremy puts it, it is “Confrontational. Magickal. Beautiful!”
