Steadwell said of the album: “I’m a black, queer, woman, singer-songwriter and I believe that everybody deserves a cheesy love song.  That’s why I wrote Queer Love Songs..

“Sometimes”, a sweet and earnest love song reflects on an experience loving a gender non-binary partner. In “The Door”, a collaboration with folk icon Toshi Reagon, Be laments the end of a relationship. In “Gay Sex”, Steadwell presents a satirical response to a noxious political environment suggesting we all go home to have gay sex, dedicating it to fascists and homophobes everywhere. In “Netflix”, she considers the complications of love in the information age. Be Steadwell speaks to a deeply troubling and relatable truth in her lyric: “Sex is elusive on a good night.  Netflix is fucking up my sex life.”

“Queer Love Songs” serves as the follow up album to Steadwell’s album “Breakup Songs” coupled with her second sold out European tour in the fall of 2017.  Steadwell impacted her hometown of Washington DC when she joined the star-studded line up of 2017’s Women’s March, sharing the stage with Madonna, Ashley Judd, Janelle Monae, and The Indigo Girls among many more fearless artists standing up for women’s rights and social freedom in the current political climate. Be Steadwell is also a favorite with the NYC audiences in her yearly appearances at Toshi Reagon’s Word Rock Sword Festival at (Le) Poisson Rouge and Rock Solid Women, the three night festival curated by icon Nona Hendryx.
