We are living for your Pride anthem, “We’re Here!” Can you begin by telling us more about the concept and inspiration behind the track? OFM caught up with the musical artist to talk more about “We’re Here,” celebrating Pride, and being unapologetically authentic. Her music presents a modern twist on the rock ‘n’ roll troubadour singing songs of struggle and ultimately, triumph.
Her trademark fire and brimstone stage presence is an amalgam of her journey, identity, and musical influences. “We’re Here” also features several queer, trans, nonbinary artists and drag queens including Madazon Can-Can.īased in Salt Lake City, Keys has enjoyed a local following and has made a name for herself on national tours and jam festivals from coast to coast. The outro encourages all to own who they are because by simply existing, they are making the world a better place.
The first verse is about the internal struggles many LGBTQ youth face when their outward appearance doesn’t quite fit the societal mold, while the second verse challenges them to smash the patriarchy of society’s expectations around gender binaries. Written and produced by Keys, “We’re Here” is a reggae-inspired, feel good anthem broken into three parts. Lesbian rocker Talia Keys is celebrating Pride Month with the release of a new music video that calls for today’s queer generation to be loud and proud in who they are.
