![]() Well, I was working with one of my songwriting partners, Adam Joseph, who I’ve worked with for many years on other projects as well, including this. How did “Broken Home” come about? What’s the story behind that song in particular? This one actually flowed very easily because there was so much passion behind it. I’m somewhere between the “How dare you?” and “I’ll kill you” stages of grief. And so, I wanted to be able to have that full story out there and volume two is a little darker and slightly vengeful because I’m moving through the stages of grief with this project. I actually was in love and I experienced some great things and obviously some ups and downs and all these different things. Yes, I was in a relationship and yes, I wanted to murder my ex, but that wasn’t all it was. And I thought, you know, instead of this just being a jilted lover kind of thing, let me actually go in and talk about my experience. I was very emotional and I was like, let me write a song and then three albums later, we had so much material. The process for writing volume two was actually a little bit easier because initially when the whole entire idea started, I had just gone through a breakup. Was it easier to put together than volume one? You’ve also recently released the second volume of Letters to My Lovers. We’re working on some music that is exclusive to this tour, and some other things that people will only experience if they come to see this show. Mine has mine, and it features music from each of our albums, but we are working on something very special, that I can’t quite mention. Well, there is a surprise coming, but the original core of the show, the idea is two separate shows. What can fans expect on this tour? Are you going to do any duets together? And so why not have a couple of gals singing some original R&B music? I mean, that was my bread and butter for so long – but we’re seeing drag entertainers branch out, you know, comedians and musicians and acting on film and television and all these different things. We want to give fans of Drag Race an additional opportunity to see people who maybe they like or love, or are interested to see, do something other than the typical, you know, two-minute lip sync of a remix in a gay bar – which is fun. And, you know, it leans R&B, as does my music. You know, her first couple of albums were only a few years ago. I mean, obviously because we weren’t on the same season of Drag Race and everything, a lot of people don’t necessarily associate us, but Jujubee and I have a lot of the same musical tastes – a lot of the same love of R&B music, which is obviously a popular genre, but not something that, that a lot of people see drag entertainers singing or doing, especially live if it’s their own original material.Īnd so, you know, Juju is obviously a really talented lip syncer and drag entertainer and obviously a musician, but I think moving into the world of music is a little newer for Juju. Juju and I have been friends for a long time. If people ask me later if I had a good time, I might say, “it was VMA-zing!” (Laughs) ![]() That’s really clever, I’ve never even heard that. I saw you on the VMAs last night and I thought you looked VMA-zing! We got a chance to sit down with Peppermint, fresh off her live fashion commentary duties on Sunday’s VMAs to talk about her new music, her upcoming tour, and what’s next in our exclusive interview. The tour is in support of Peppermint’s Letters To My Lovers and Jujubee’s Top 10 chart-topping good juju EPs.įans will get an intimate experience with a full show from each artist and maybe even some surprise moments together. Peppermint’s rhythm & blues set will take you not only on a journey of music with song selections from the GLAAD Media Award-nominated Letters To My Lovers Volume 1 & the new Volume 2 and a few unreleased nuggets from the forthcoming Volume 3, but also some humorous and very personal stories included in the live show. Jujubee’s set will highlight songs from both good juju EPs combined with her signature storytelling sharing memories of her time on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Queen of the Universe, and her new podcast “Queen Of Hearts.” The “Letters Live/Good Juju” tour will feature the 2 divas performing with a live band (no lip-syncing for their lives on this stage). ![]() ![]() The “Letters Live/Good Juju” tour presented by Obsessed will hit such major cities as Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and New York. ![]() Peppermint is hitting the road this November with fellow RuPaul Drag Race favorite Jujubee for a North American tour. ![]()
