New York icon and current Scissor Sisters frontwoman, Bridget Barkan, paves her own way on her latest single, ‘Red Carpet.’ 

Owning the command of a true diva, Barkan manifests her signature aura of stardom on ‘Red Carpet’. In camp, lounge-singer fashion with a dash of funk, this track is as sexy as it is self-affirming.

“People often ask me why I haven’t been on Broadway, which is intended as a compliment but often leaves a sour taste. After years of chasing external validation, I realized the answer is: ‘I AM Broadway.’ This song is a reminder that I don’t need to book a specific job to validate my existence. It is about dismantling the ‘castles of idolatry’ we build around industry success and empowering ourselves to BE the thing we are searching for and make the art we want to be part of.”
– Bridget Barkan

Unapologetic and brimming with artistry, ‘Red Carpet’ is the uplifting song of the summer.  Over-the-top and loving it, this track is a mood booster for all the queens.
