Kim Petras and Nicki Minaj have released the music video for their hit summer single, “Alone,” and it’s a celebration of queer fabulousness. The video showcases various looks for both artists, including marching band, workout, nurse, and dominatrix outfits. The collaboration between the two icons is a perfect combination, and we get to witness the dolls and the Barbz come together in the best way possible.
“Alone” is a danceclub anthem that samples the classic ’90s electronic track “Better Off Alone” by Alice DeeJay. Petras, who is known for making music for the dolls and the gays, is on her way to becoming a major force in the music industry. Her first Grammy win for “Unholy,” a duet with Sam Smith, and the success of “Alone” both show that she’s officially arrived.
In the “Alone” music video, Nicki Minaj dubs Petras as Kim Petty, a new nickname that is sure to stick with the princess of pop. The song debuted at number 55 on the US Billboard Hot 100, but with the release of the music video, it’s poised to become Kim’s next top twenty hit.
The music video celebrates LGBT fabulousness, showcasing the duo in various queer-friendly settings. Petras, who is openly transgender, is a trailblazer in the music industry and is helping to pave the way for future LGBTQ artists.
Overall, “Alone” is a must-watch music video that celebrates the power of icons working with icons. Kim Petras and Nicki Minaj have created a queer masterpiece that is sure to become a summer anthem for the LGBTQ community and beyond.
