Premiere: Watch Drag Race star Kameron Michaels’ video for debut single Freedom

25th June 2019

Kameron Michaels has launched her bid for music superstardom with her incredible new single.

In the video for her debut track, Freedom, the legendary RuPaul’s Drag Race star – who placed runner-up on the show’s tenth season last year – showcases her sickening dance moves in several choreographed routines.

Kameron is later joined by a group of queer people – including her fellow competitor and bff Eureka.

There’s also scenes of a young boy as he struggles with his decision to wear ‘masculine’ clothing or a stun pink top and matching skirt, as well as a gay couple proudly holding hands in the street.

“You’ve got a right to shine, don’t let them dim your light,” Kameron sings on the massive dance-pop anthem. “I saved my own damn life when I realised that freedom is a feeling, a rhythm you can shake, a choice you gotta make.”

In a statement, Kameron said of the track: “I wanted to create the type of music that I enjoy. Dance music! A sound that makes people want to move. I came out a long time ago, but I still remember how scary it was to realize I was different.”

“One thing I have learned from my travels is that so many people from every corner of the globe are struggling with identity.”

She added: “If my words and video help just one person find the confidence in themselves to fly, then I can smile knowing they have discovered their ‘Freedom’.”

Freedom will be included on Kameron’s upcoming debut album, which is due for release on 9 August. The song is now available on iTunes and streaming services – watch the gag-worthy video below.
