We recently had the privilege of checking out the new single “Kissing Girls” from Nashville based acclaimed social justice singer-songwriter, Heather Mae.
You can listen to “Kissing Girls” Here and you can also checkout the video below.
Heather Mae beautifully tells her coming out story through the brilliantly written single “Kissing Girls” which is accompanied by a vibrant video as well.
It’s a narrative shared by many queer individuals, especially those from southern, conservative, or religious backgrounds. Mae remembers her first kiss, her first love, her first heartbreak—each with a girl.
She confides, “growing up in church and the evangelical movement, the only representation of LGBTQ+ people that I was familiar with were the kids who got kicked out for being queer. Even though my first crush was on a girl, I hid the truth of what that meant to protect myself from losing my entire community. This is why visibility is profoundly important to me.”
We are absolutely over the moon for “Kissing Girls”, Heather Mae is an important voice with an important and authentic message. We all have a story to tell and Heather Mae tells hers perfectly.
Positioned on the cusp of unveiling her upcoming post-pandemic double record, Mae embarked on a mission to address the stark gender disparity for music producers—a mere 4% representation by women. In 2023, Heather Mae rallied a dynamic collective of women and non-binary talents in Nashville, assembling luminaries like producer ZDAN and Lollies, alongside guest artists such as Grammy award-winning musician Allison Russell and the extraordinary duo Sistastrings.
