Fresh off her historic win and crowning as “America’s Next Drag Superstar” from the Emmy-nominated Season 15 of MTV’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, international drag icon Sasha Colby is proud to announce her debut single, “Feel the Power,” set to release October 20th. Acclaimed by RuPaul as “the kind of talent that comes around once in a generation,” Colby’s new dance anthem – produced by the renowned Glovibes and featuring the incredible vocal talent of Luciana – marks a pivotal evolution in the Hawaiian native’s journey as a performer. Following the momentous release, Colby is set to embark on her inaugural solo headlining 2024 North America tour, produced by Live Nation, titled “Sasha Colby: Stripped Tour.”
Much like Colby’s impact on the Drag Race fandom, “Feel the Power” – a disco-house infused track with catchy lyrics and an irresistible groove – exudes an energy of kicking doors open while proudly owning one’s individuality, showcasing a new level of Colby’s unapologetic artistry that she’s excited to share with the world.
“As a performer over the last two decades, recording music feels like the most natural next step for my journey as an artist,” says Sasha Colby. “I have been dreaming of this moment for as long as I can remember and it has been a privilege to work with Glovibes and Luciana to create a song that not only embodies all that I love with music, but what I’ve seen the audience love too: dancing, disco, personal power, and the freedom of expression. Music unites us in our shared human experience and ‘Feel the Power’ invites us all to the dance floor – exactly as we are – to let go of our troubles and enjoy life.”
The “Sasha Colby: Stripped Tour,” which kicks off in February 2024 and encompasses 22 dates spanning the United States and Canada, is in collaboration with Live Nation, a partnership that promises an unforgettable live music experience and will reveal dazzling new dimensions of Colby’s talent and creativity. The tour – which is aptly named, promising to strip down barriers between Colby and her fans – also marks one of Live Nation’s first shows produced with a former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant, a monumental moment for all parties involved.
“I could not be more thrilled than to set out on this tour with Live Nation!” says Colby. “The fans have been incredibly supportive through my journey over the past year, and many of them have been supporting me for decades, so I am extremely grateful and excited to have the opportunity to see them, connect with them, and perform for them across North America in 2024. I also can’t wait to perform ‘Feel the Power’ live! It’s going to be an incredible show.”
“Feel the Power” will be available across all streaming platforms distributed by Bonanza Records on Thursday, October 19th at 9:00 PM PT/ 12:00 AM ET.
Tickets will be available starting with artist presale beginning Wednesday, October 18th. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning Friday, October 20th at 9am ET at TheSashaColby.com.
