HERE'S LaurenJauregui STUNNING on our fifth of seven Pride covers !!! Hear her talk all things queer with oranicuhh (another person we absolutely stan.) Link:
was released March of this year and sets the singer's svelte, honeyed rasp over a sexy mid-tempo beat from reggaeton producer and former collaborator Tainy. Flowing between Spanish and English with ease, Jauregui becomes one with the night, all while silkily dismissing any overtures of negativity, over-familiarity or possessiveness to effectively center autonomy at the heart of the irresistible dance track.
Chika: I can fully understand that. I, too, am overwhelmed. I think everyone who experiences intersection in the world, they can identify with the feeling of being overwhelmed right now. I'm trying to remain hopeful and trying to celebrate small wins that happen while continuing to fight for what's important.
Lauren: Thank you, I receive that and I appreciate that a lot. Sometimes I do get caught up thinking about,"Oh shit, am I making this about me?" Obviously I do not want to be centered in these conversations, especially being that I'm a white-presenting celebrity. I might be Latinx, but I am white-looking. I feel sometimes voices get centered in spaces that aren't necessarily their spaces to dominate.
Lauren: To be honest I've been blessed to have a lot of Black femmes in my life who have taught me. Whether that be through friends or mentors or books I have encountered, Black women have educated the shit out of me. Every time that I have slipped up or have been ill-informed or have come from a place of unconsciousness, I again have been blessed enough to have Black femmes in my life who get me the fuck together. And who are like,"you want to be an ally, here's how you be an ally.
Lauren: I would be remiss to say that I feel the same way this Pride that I have in previous years of Pride. I think that would be a lie to say I'm in the same spirit of cheeriness and unapologetic energy. No, that's a lie, that part's still there. I think that's how I keep my Pride.Lauren: Yeah, it's the lens through which I see the world, it's the lens through which I'm able to have the empathy that I have.
I also have this feeling inside of me when I am attracted to a woman where I'm a little scared to hit on her because I don't want to be too aggressive or too scary or to make her feel the way that men make me feel when I'm hit on unsolicited, you know? I date everyone. I'm pansexual. It's weird for me as someone who, for the most part, people consider masc-presenting. I date men, and I also date women; I date gender non-conforming and non-binary people.
Chika: It's a hot mess. It is a canonical logical mess. It is a conundrum. I agree, I never had a role model.Chika: It's wild!Chika: Your eyes kind of twinkled in the moonlight and I noticed. I had peeped it. I'm just noticing it, but if that's something you want to explore, we can... [laughs]. But yes, I fully agree, I didn't really have any role models either and that was largely because of education.
