The Scissor Sisters Kiki it up

By Simon Thibault • May 8, 2012 3:53 am EDT

The Scissor Sisters are channelling the ballroom scene in their latest record, “Let’s Have a Kiki,” which references the sound that emerged in New York dance clubs in the early to mid-’90s. Although the new album is scheduled to drop on May 28, this track was just released to YouTube.

As for the sound of this record, if “The Ha Dance” by Masters at Work and Lil Louis’s “I Called You” had a kid raised by party-going, drag-queen parents, it would produce this record.
