New York, New York – May 7, 2024 – Today, writer, producer, composer and performer Our Lady J releases “Future Of Us,” the artist’s first major music release in a decade, when she put her musical career on hold to focus on television and filmmaking. Featuring sweeping, classical orchestrations and supporting vocals by members of the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus, the composition is a meditation on the aftermath of societal chaos, and the responsibility artists have to steer us back towards creation. Our Lady J says, “The song paints a portrait of a world worn from mounting anxieties, building towards a revelation that calls for a return to LOVE.”
The recording of the song, written and performed by Our Lady J, was inspired by the artist’s personal journey of healing from the isolation of the pandemic, after which, she attended dozens of symphonic concerts to find community with other creatives and like-minded artists. In this period of inspiration, Lady J notes that “concert-going reconnected me with my roots as a collaborative musician and chamber pianist. I resumed my formal studies in classical piano at the Colburn School in downtown Los Angeles, and I fell back in love with the healing power of classical music.”

“Future Of Us” marks Our Lady J’s official return to music after the release of her 2013 debut album Picture of a Man, praised by Out Magazine for its “deeply felt vocals and highly trained expertise.” The singer took a temporary break from the medium to embark on a successful career in television where her credits include being a writer and producer on FX’s Pose and Amazon Studios’ Transparent.
While "Future Of Us" is a classically inspired piece, Our Lady J is also releasing more music this summer that is more traditional singer-songwriter material. Her upcoming single “Little Queen,” out this June in time for Pride month celebrations, is dedicated to all her trans and queer siblings in the LGBTQ+ community.
