Pride Month is more than halfway over, but we’re still celebrating all sorts of LGBTQ+ art! That means that we’ve been playing music from some of our favorite queer hitmakers on repeat.

It seems like the ideal time to recommend a queer artist to a friend or fellow reader by letting them know which one you consider to be the best.

Nowadays, we live in an era where so many musicians are open about their sexuality. Think of Hayley Kiyoko (known to many as Lesbian Jesus) and Lil Nas X (who continues to push boundaries every time he releases a new project).

They’re slaying the game, in part thanks to the groundbreaking work of others who came before them. Take Elton John and Melissa Etheridge, for example.

That’s still barely scratching the surface of the incredible pool of talented queer musicians who have graced us with solid-gold hits over the years. The list isn’t complete without the likes of Adam Lambert, Fletcher, Troye Sivan, Janelle Monae, Lady Gaga, Kim Petras, Sam Smith and so many others.

There’s so many artists, and we put together a poll so you could tell us who you consider to be the ultimate LGBTQ+ musician!

Troye Sivan's 'Somebody to Love' Queen Cover Supports Global Fight Against HIV/AIDS - Listen Now!

Troye Sivan is paying tribute to Freddie Mercury and Queen with his brand-new cover of “Somebody to Love!”

The 23-year-old “Dance to This” singer dropped the song – also celebrating the new biopic Bohemian Rhapsody – on Friday (November 2).

The track is Troye‘s interpretation of the band’s 1976 gospel-inspired hit, which originally appeared on the album A Day at the Races.

“I’m so beyond honored to have been asked to cover ‘Somebody to Love’ by Queen, a masterful song by the most legendary band,” Troye said.

“Somebody to Love” is the third in a series of artist covers in support of the Mercury Phoenix Trust (MPT), which was founded in 1992 by Jim as well as Queen‘s Brian May and Roger Taylor to support the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Troye will donate net profits of the track to the MPT.

Listen below! You can also download Troye‘s “Somebody to Love” on iTunes.
