A “Bitch Like Me” Q+A with Bob as we got to learn more about the inspiration behind the video!
(Q) How is “Bitch Like Me” unlike anything you’ve ever worked on before?
(A) This single goes a lot harder than other things I’ve done before; I think when I was on
Drag Race, I was trying to be mindful of the audience and image that comes with the show.
But I think that over time I’ve finally curated an audience and fans that really like and
appreciate me for me, which makes me feel more comfortable.
(Q) You shot this video pulling inspiration from TikTok platform transitions – What made
you feel like that was the right choice for this video?
(A) I really genuinely just love TikTok, and even if I had no followers, I’d still probably spend
a lot of time on there scrolling and double tapping. I remember googling if there was a
“vertical music video” or a “TikTok music video” and I hadn’t seen one yet, so I just thought
‘where you see a void, you fill it’.
(Q) How was working with the writers, directors and producers on this single?
(A) It was great, I wrote all of my own lyrics but being in a studio you really confer and converse with everyone there. Working with Ocean Kelly here was amazing, and then collaborating with all the other artists for the EP was wonderful. I really enjoyed it!
(Q) Can you share a funny or interesting anecdote from your time writing this single? From your time creating the video?
(A) The house we rented out to film this music video was the home of this gay, rich guy, and there was one room in this house with no furniture in it and we were all so curious as to what it was. And I thought it was the sex room, which if so, I live!
(Q) Why did you choose to lead with “Bitch Like Me” as the first single off your upcoming EP?
(A) Bitch Like Me isn’t the first song that I wrote, but the EP is very silly while also being very serious and I felt like Bitch Like Me was a perfect mesh of the two.
