Star of stage, screen, podcast airwaves and beyond, scalding hot drag superstar Alaska Thunderfuck is about to get even “RED” hotter as she releases the second track from her forthcoming full length album, Red 4 Filth via PEG Records/Warner Music Group/ADA. “beautiful (Night 4 a) breakdown”HERE written by Chester Krupa, Ferras, jesse saint john, Jordan Palmer, Justin Honard aka Alaska, Nick Laughlin, Stolar and produced by @ivanAndPeter, Stolar & Chester Krupa is filled with all the essential emotional ingredients as Alaska explains, “I live with hysteria, tantrums, and breakdowns on pretty much a daily basis. So this is a beautiful dance anthem that is celebrating the liberating power that you can find by being comfortable and familiar with your inner demons, rather than trying to run from them or hide them.” Watch the official video HERE.
“Red,”the first track HERE released from Red 4 Filth hailed by Billboard magazine HERE - Alongside being one of RuPaul's Drag Race's biggest stars, Alaska Thunderfuck knows how to put together a banger. Nowhere is that more clear than on "Red," the drag star's stunning new single. The song, which comes off of the star's upcoming album Red 4 Filth, is a thumping electro-pop banger through and through, with Alaska offering some stellar vocals (as well as her signature talk-singing in the song's second verse) to bring home this early-2000s-style bop.
”Red” was written by Justin Honard aka Alaska, Jay Stolar (Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato), JBach (Chri$tian Gate$), Andrea Rosario (Aloe Blacc), Chester Krupa, Skyler Cocco & Jordan Palmer and produced by Stolar, Jordan Palmer, Krupa & Skyler Cocco. Watch the official video HERE
“Red is the color of blood, and the heart, and the color of love. This song and this album are dedicated to the time when I first fell in love with music — around the turning of the century. We’re drawing upon the sounds and textures of the 90s and early 2000s, with pop songs that are about love and friendship. I love the music and I can’t wait to share it with you all.” says Alaska

Today, she’s a hit recording artist; global, in-demand performer; and heads a podcast network.
Of writing the book she says, "People have often asked me, ‘Alaska- if you were to ever write a book, what would it be about?’ The answer is simple- It would be about me, of course. In this book I plan to tell the T, the whole T, and nothing but the T— so help me Goddess. In telling my life story, from my birth until now, I hope to invite you into my world, to set the record straight, and to inspire the children of the world.
