  8. BONUS

    Chela

    Chela joins Liz and Sammy to talk latest single Cool 2B Queer, it’s inspiration, larger themes and bringing together the music video!  Plus we touch on creative projects and gigs outside of music, and getting back into live performance. While Chela is always busy in different creative fields, this is the first music offering since 2019’s Delivery EP. Delivery was an incredible retro nostalgic synth pop project, and Cool 2B Queer compliments these sounds while leaning far more into modern pop styling; complimented by a camp music video packed with imagery on the corporatisation of queerness.   Make sure you listen to Loud & Queer live Sundays from 3-4pm, you'll hear more talks and great queer music.
