Michael Blume has premiered his remix of “R U Mad,” featuring legendary RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni Shea Couleé and Peppermint – just in time for Pride season. Produced by John “J-C” Carr and Bill Coleman, the reimagination of the provocative, original track - which appears on his imminent EP cynicism & sincerity (out June 8th via S-Curve Records) - features Michael’s trademark baritone against a disco-synth background, cut with defiant, wig-snatching verses from the Season 9 finalists.
“I love how different each of us is, and I think we should celebrate our uniqueness,” says Michael
on the inspiration behind the track. “People being different is
literally what drives me to create and express and encourage others to
be themselves. Let’s just all be exactly who we are and not be mad. I am
slayyyed and honored by the fact that Shea Couleé and Peppermint
blessed this track!!! I have learned so much from these two talented
artists and their profound commitment to self-expression, so
collaborating with them is a dream. Bill Coleman and John "J-C" Carr
killed the remix production and I’m so excited for this one to be out!”
