Polari CD

Description:

Standard CD in jewel case includes 12pg booklet

Many queer people will understand a penchant for secrets and codes, having had a backlog of thousands of years where we were unable to live openly. About 8 months or so into the writing process the topic of Polari came up in the studio and my north star (Polaris!) appeared. I dived into the fascinating history of Polari - and it really is SO fascinating!

Here was a story that spans centuries, filled with hidden meanings and forbidden love, a way to express yourself openly via a secret code. Polari became my guiding light, a place where I could travel through time and create music that took reference from the past and remix it into the future. I've always written songs about love, but I found myself with a new perspective beyond my own usual fears and insecurities. Polari came to encapsulate so many things to me, a creative practice, an artistic refuge - it was a voyage that led me to many surprises - much like the language itself. This album is a documentation of that journey and a celebration of being alive. Welcome to Polari.
