The Peripheral: New music from WILLOW, Jalen Ngonda + a Pride dance party

Hello, hello! It’s week 3 of the Peripheral! More importantly, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! During the first half of the show, you’ll hear new music from WILLOW and Jalen Ngonda off their much anticipated upcoming new albums (Jalen’s comes out tomorrow!). Plus, you’ll hear a song off an album released by 20-year-old Violet Grohl (yes, you read that last name right) and trust me when I say the apple does not fall far.

And in the latter half of the show, it’s a Pride party! Talking at a minimum, vibes at a maximum. Hang out, dance, and sing along to some unabashedly queer artists during this month of joyous resistance. Tracks include a new Madonna remix by Drag Race star Trixie Mattel and a power duo by Doechii & Gaga off the new Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack that I’m convinced is slated to become a classic.
