Ängie - Bisexual Swedish pop & trap-hop artist often labelled as one of the most shocking and controversial pop stars of the last few years. She’s talked about falling in love with a woman for the first time at 15 and how she felt ostracized by friends and family due to that and how her music is born from a desire to express her sexuality. Listen to “Smoke weed eat pussy” and her first album “Suicidal since 1995.”

Beatrice Eli - The lesbian Swedish pop artist who blessed us with the gay anthem that is “Girls.” She’s been dating Silvana Imam for about four years now! She’s said she prefers the term lesbian over gay and I’m crossing my fingers that we’ll get new music from her soon!

Christine and the Queens - The stage name of Héloïse Letissier, a pansexual French pop/”freak pop” artist. While visiting London she was inspired by local drag queens and they became her backing band. She dedicates her music to them and to transgender people. Listen to “5 dollars” and “Girlfriend.” 

Cœur de pirate - The stage name of Béatrice Martin, a queer French-Canadian indie/folk pop musician. She came out as queer in 2016 and was briefly involved with Laura Jane Grace. She sings mostly in French and released a new album “ en cas de tempête, ce jardin sera fermé” this year. 

girl in red - Lesbian Norwegian independent bedroom pop artist. Marie writes, records, and produces all of her own music. She released Chapter 1, a five song EP, on Spotify this year. “girls” and “i wanna be your girlfriend” are both amazing and gay. I can tell we have a lot to look forward to in the future from her!

Ji Nilson - Lesbian Swedish alternative pop artist who came out in early 2017. Listen to “In my Blood” and “Proud.” Ji Nilson said this about In my Blood: “I’m so in love with this song. I think people can relate to the feeling of ending something and kind of being ok with it, but someone you love will always, always be in your blood. You can live without them, but you can’t escape the love you once shared.”

Saara Aalto - Lesbian Finnish pop artist. She represented Finland in Eurovision in 2018. On her sexuality she said she was “Very proud to be a lesbian” and thats a mood. Her newest album “Wild Wild Wonderland” was released this year. 

Silvana Imam - Swedish lesbian rapper. She’s been in a relationship with fellow singer Beatrice Eli since 2014! She’s talked about how her music is seen as political because of her being gay and a woman and has said “I want to be the best of all rappers, not the best female rapper.” Listen to “For Evigt” and “IMAM COBAIN.”

Soko - The stage name & nickname of bisexual/pansexual French indie pop/new wave musician Stéphanie Sokolinski. She briefly dated Kristen Stewart and has said “I’ve always been open with my sexuality, meaning I don’t really care about gender.” Listen to gay anthem “Who wears the pants?”

Tove Lo - Bisexual Swedish grunge influenced pop artist. She unapologetically owns her sexuality and has been vocal about the double standards in the pop industry for men and women. Her very gay song “Bitches” got remixed this year and now features Charlie XCX, Alma, Elliphant, and Icona Pop.
