Billy Porter Debuts “Love Yourself”

Yes Gawd Hunni! Billy Porter is back at it and the PARTY is in motion!

Tony and Grammy Award-Winner Billy Porter releases his new single “Love Yourself” out now on The Butler Music Company Inc. The track was written and produced by transgender artist/producer D. Smith and Executive-Produced by Bill Butler and Carmen Cacciatore.   “Love Yourself” is available now at all digital retailers. 

Said Porter, “I’m thrilled to be spreading the message of self-love to my community whose humanity and worth have been up for legislation for way too long. On this 50th anniversary of Stonewall I’m proud to unite with my LGBTQ brothers & sisters to remind the world that we’re here and we ain’t goin’ nowhere. Love always wins!”  

Said songwriter/producer D. Smith, “Billy’s talent and his platform are the perfect vessels for such an urgent message.  As a proud African-American transgender woman and music producer, I just knew he would be the right messenger for this song and I was right, he killed it!  It was an amazing experience working with Billy in the studio and I am thrilled to have written and produced the track for him. My LGBTQIA+ friends and family need to hear this. The world needs to hear it as well.”
