It's trixiemattel's perfectly pink world – and we're just living in it
is at the airport — again. After wrapping up a five-week tour across Europe, the multi-talented drag icon is briefly headed home to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before plunging back into a relentless schedule that includes launching her TV series, embarking on the second leg of the Trixie & Katya Live tour, and releasing her fourth studio album. “It’s been Strugglina Aguilera,” Mattel tells MTV News over the phone.
Like all of Mattel’s endeavors, the project is bursting with pop-culture references. “She was holding your hand, so in love with you / But I’m not trying to be anybody’s Jolene,” she sings on “Boyfriend,” a breezy B-52’s-inspired track about pining after someone in a relationship that nods to Dolly Parton. But don’t be mistaken — while fans may associate Mattel with Dolly, there’s another country legend close to Mattel’s heart: Loretta Lynn.,” the high-powered third single off of the album.
If Sinatra is the vision for Mattel’s aesthetic, it’s her pal Michelle Branch that cemented her love for songwriting. Listening to Mattel talk about their friendship is like speaking to someone who won the lottery. “Can you believe that?” she asks proudly after mentioning “White Rabbit,” a song that features Branch. The mellow alt-rock tune would sound right at home on Branch’s classic 2001 albumwrites music.
“I wrote ‘Goner’ at a time when I was really interested in making sure that I had a tether to [Wisconsin].” The sparkling and upbeat song tells the story of returning home after becoming successful from the perspective of those you left behind. It’s fantastical, overly complimentary, a little condescending, and totally Trixie. “It’s sort of patronizing, talking about how this person is so beautiful and successful. Ironically,pretending to be that person.
