MuMu Shares "The Bitch in Me" Single
NYC singer-songwriter MuMu throws shade with her newest release, "The Bitch in Me," a punchy song about clashing personalities and what happens when you give in to your inner bitch. It’s a bop with totally relatable, cleverly comedic lyrics. MuMu’s storytelling is so on point, we feel like her best-friend across the table exclaiming, "Yaaas girl, spill that tea!"
"The Bitch in Me" was inspired by a real person (who shall remain unnamed) who’s world revolves around money and aristocracy. The only thing they’re passionate about is securing the best table at the new Michelin five-star restaurant. MuMu confides, "I feel like a bitch saying all this even now after I’ve written a song about it. I was raised in a family of six women. Women are my muse. I write and sing for them. I live and love with them. I wanted desperately to love this new neighbor-woman, but she brought out the bitch in me."
She continued, "What I learned in the process of writing this song was that it’s ok for me to not like everyone. I don’t need to be puking hearts and farting rainbows all day every day wherever I go. I can get angry, I can be resentful, I can write a bitchy song about my bitchy neighbor and hope to goddess she never hears it."
"The Bitch in Me" is a lyrically brazen F.U. that compels us to dance like no one is watching with arms and legs thrashing about as if we’re attempting to burst through the hierarchical stigma that’s been cast upon us. It’s an anthem for the other 99%.

David Hernandez Bares All In New EP And Book
Don’t @ Me - EP Cover Image David Hernandez
David Hernandez is baring it all. And not just on his new EP Don’t @ Me. To accompany Don’t @ Me, Hernandez is releasing a coffee-table book full of his nudes in tandem with the musical project this Friday (March 11).
Hernandez is no stranger to public nudity. Before conceptualizing Don’t @ Me, or his book #NSFW, he starred in a Las Vegas production of Naked Boys Singing. On his Instagram page, he often dons a jockstrap, showing off his backside, while posing seductively in nature or against a solid backdrop.
“My friends, when I go to their houses, especially in New York, they have these coffee table books, like the dick book, or like the ass book,” Hernandez tells Unleashed LGBTQ. “You open it up, and it's just all of these beautiful nude photos. They’re just so well done and tasteful that I wanted to join the likes of those coffee table books.”
The former American Idol top 12 contestant began working on music before signing onto Naked Boys Singing, however, the feelings of sexual liberation he felt while naked on stage kickstarted his musical process.
“I was inspired just to be myself,” Hernandez tells Unleashed LGBTQ, “to feel free to, honor the sexual side of myself and the nudist side of myself. The content on the EP is very adult, it's honest, and it’s gay as well. And I thought my image also fits that same exact thing, and I feel free and liberated through this experience. So why not release it to the world and show all sides of me, literally?”
Hernandez learned how to record and produce his own music during the pandemic, using programs like Splice, Ableton, Pro Tools and Garageband. He was mostly going into the studio for cathartic, therapeutic purposes, and didn’t have any initial plans to release a project.
“I was just dropping lyrics and vocals in my microphone,” Hernandez says. “And then. when I got to Vegas, I was just inspired by my sexual nature and being naked on stage. I was finally, finally thinking ‘Wow, you look really good after this fitness journey, you should be proud of yourself.’ The content [of the EP] changed a little bit. I started writing about how it feels being an adult gay male, how it feels during sex and how it feels with my anxiety.”
