After joining the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles to deliver that incredible Laura Dern tribute at the Film Indendent Spirit Awards last week, Alex Newell is back with a banger of a new single, ‘Boy, You Can Keep It’.
The 27-year-old singer, who starred as trans student Unique Adams on Glee from 2011-15, serves sass in spade-loads as he marks his return to pop music following stints on Broadway and on TV’s Empire.
Newell, who identifies as a gender nonconforming gay man, has established himself as one of Glee’s biggest post-show successes, scoring two UK Top Five hits as part of Clean Bandit’s ‘Stronger’ and Blond’s ‘All Cried Out’.
His 2016 EP Power remains one of that year’s most underrated queer pop offerings, and with the looks and vocals on display in ‘Boy, You Can Keep It’, we’re expecting big things in 2020 from the Massachusetts-born star.
