Corina Corina, Pays Homage to Queer Communitiy and Nightlife Hustle
PRIDE states, “The “BAR$” video also uses Metropolitan Bar, one of the oldest gay bars in Brooklyn, as an integral setting, because representing the queer community has always been important to the out-and-proud vocalist.” The upcoming album is a conceptual project written about all the aspects of her lifelong relationship with alcohol, in conjunction with themes of empowerment, loneliness, regret and love. A seasoned vet in the nightlife industry, Corina Corina has had a love/hate relationship with her “day job” for years. “BAR$” adopts a more empowered viewpoint from previous releases, as the protagonist is exhausted and jaded but not at all a victim; she knows exactly what she’s doing, she’s a hustler and knows how to play the game. In fact, every single dollar she put into the creation of Hangover Music came from bar money.
