She’s made us laugh on stage and in movies like Fire Island, but did you know that Margaret Cho is also an insanely talented singer? If you need proof look no further than the video for her new single “Lucky Gift” from her album of the same name.
Margaret wrote the song and sings in a sultry-pop tone while playing her double neck mandolin-guitar, “The Mandotar.” “This is my power pop anthem and the first song I wrote on my mandotar. It is definitely giving gay pop in the best way and it’s my favorite song I’ve ever written.” states Margaret.
As for the video, directed by photographer/director Nick Spanos, Margaret says, “I loved making this video with director Nick Spanos! He’s the best! I think it just captures that VH-1 90s pop diva energy perfectly. Thank you Garrison Starr and my dog Lucia for being incredible co-stars! I hope you love this video as much as I do!”
It’s been 8 years since Margaret released her 2016 Grammy nominated album American Myth which featured the standout track “Anna Nicole” written about her friendship with Anna Nicole-Smith.
Margaret says of the Lucky Gift album (available now) – “I am thrilled to share this album which has been many years in the making. There are tributes to Robin Williams, lost love, found love and anthems to non- binary and gender non-conforming folx. I collaborated with Garrison Starr and Roger Rocha in different cities at different times but it all feels like it comes from the same place and the same heart.”
