SNG Chats w/ Uproxx

Navigating life’s challenging moments, it’s common to seek solace in the power of music. The perfect combination of lyrics can make one feel understood, offering a comforting sense of validation. This holds particularly true for members of the LGBTQ community, whose initial encounters with queer representation often occur within the realms of entertainment, whether on-screen or through song.

UPROXX reached out to SNG and nine other emerging LGBTQ artists to share the albums that helped them feel seen. Their responses spanned the spectrum of canonically queer classics from Frank Ocean and Lady Gaga to the unconventional allure of icons like Lil’ Kim.

Spice by The Spice Girls – the holy grail of albums that turned my life into a glittery, high-kicking, platform shoe-wearing musical. It’s like each song was a sparkly, wake-up call to my inner diva. My cousins and I performed the entire album for our parents and naturally, choosing Ginger Spice was like claiming my rightful throne in the Queendom of Spice: the trendsetter, the sass-master, the fashion icon. It’s not just an album; it was my passport to world domination!
