All of our emo ons and our ac ons derive from our desire to feel and experience "love." If there's one thing I want my listeners to take away from the LOVE IS GOD EP, it's that love has infinite possibili es. I created some bops with my dearest drag sisters that really share a message of love and hope overcoming dark mes."
