Billy Porter has confirmed the release date for his new album.
'Black Mona Lisa' will arrive through Republic /Island Records on November 17, and boasts production by Justin Tranter.
It will feature the award-winning artist's previously released singles Broke A Sweat, Fashion, Stranger Things and Baby Was A Dancer, as well as a new version of his 2021 club-ready, disco-pop track Children featuring Lady Blackbird. Porter said:
“What I love about Lady Blackbird, is that she sounds so good, like a modern-day, blonde Grace Jones. Her music is aggressive. Her music has message and passion and it’s about something. Like me. We fit perfectly together.
“This is the perfect time to release a new version of ‘Children.’ Folks are trying to come for us LGBTQ people and we have news for them, ‘Don’t come for us unless we send for you.’ The time is now!”
