Jinkx Monsoon serves up ‘Coffee and Wine’

Ever wondered what it would sound like if Cat Power’s “Lived in Bars” was redone by a drag queen? Well, that’s still not a thing that exists, no matter how much I want it. That being said, Jinkx Monsoon’s first post-Drag Race single, “Coffee and Wine,” comes pretty close!

The first track off her upcoming LP, The Inevitable Album — yes, that’s what she’s calling it, BECAUSE SHE’S THE BEST — finds Ms Monsoon extolling the virtues of her two favourite beverages while a troop of burlesque women dances around her.

Oh, and for those of you wondering, coffee and wine? Do not drink it at the same time.
