Beginning with soft strings and Tucker’s recount of cowboys covered in sparkle, the song picks up midway through vocals twirl in amidst the strings for the briefest moment, contorting into a falsetto that rings of freedom. I'm aiming for innocence & bliss here- the joy of looking really good & dancing with people who already like you a lot - “Gay Bar” feels limitless and daring.
True to the song’s celebratory subject matter - Tucker explained it as celebrating “the incredible spectrum of characters dressed to impress at your average regional queer watering hole. Nearly one year after we first learned of Rosie Tucker and the artist has returned, releasing a stirring single titled “Gay Bar.” The track - which appears on the upcoming Never Not Never Not Never Not out 3/8 on New Professor - is thick and fuzzy, with Tucker’s husky soprano again taking off in the most unexpected and intricate ways.
