Trixie Mattel will show off a range of musical influences on her new album Barbara<\/em>, a full-length follow-up to the drag enterainer\u2019s companion discs Two Birds <\/em>and One Stone<\/em>. The new project will be released on February 7th.<\/p>\n

Borrowing its title from the full name of a popular, iconic line of dolls, Barbara<\/em> aims to mix the candy-colored, over-the-top aspects of the breakout RuPal\u2019s Drag Race<\/em> star\u2019s persona with a darker, melancholy style of storytelling. Divided stylistically across its two sides, the album\u2019s first half will tend toward the more jangly power pop of the standalone single \u201cYellow Cloud<\/a>,\u201d while the back half will loop back to Mattel\u2019s country-folk origins<\/a> as heard on Two Birds<\/em> and One Stone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mattel wrote six of the eight songs included, and sings a cover of \u201cI Can\u2019t Shake the Stranger Out of You\u201d by queer country pioneer Lavender Country<\/a>. Ashley Levy of the Blah Blah Blahs also contributed the song \u201cWe Got the Look.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA decade of being Trixie has me looking back at my initial sketches of her with freshly painted-on eyes,\u201d says Mattel in a statement. \u201cShe\u2019s still the plastic paragon I\u2019ve always imagined; a Malibu-mod fashion doll with a darkened wit \u2014 but now there\u2019s more.\u201d<\/p>\n

On February 5th, Mattel will embark on the Trixie Mattel: Grown Up tour to support the album. The performer also recently released the comedy special Trixie Mattel: Skinny Legend<\/em>, along with a namesake cosmetics line.<\/p>\n
