The one, the only. Ms. Chapman. While we all know her classics. But “New Beginnings” remains one of her very best albums for me. It came at a time of my life with exploding love, endless hope and emerging heartbreak. Many of its songs mirrored the longing, the overflowing chest full of first true love, I felt. For a while it still hurt to hear those songs. But not anymore. Now they just make me smile. Queer joy is celebrating our own histories as well. Happy Monday, kittens.
