Mamaru (album)

Mamaru is the fourteenth studio album by American singer and drag queen RuPaul, released on January 7, 2022.

Stephen Daw of Billboard wrote, "Throughout Mamaru, the 'Supermodel' star delivers what fans have come to expect from her — fun, danceable singles that are made for you to strut to.

"[8] Ian Fredrickson of The Daily Californian gave the album a 3.5 out of 5, and wrote that "Mamaru shows audiences young and old that RuPaul is still in her prime nearly half a century into her career.

Incredibly fun to listen to — with some tracks definitively worth putting on your hype playlist — the album is impressive even with its occasional blunders.

Throughout the thirty-minute record, Ru somehow manages to commodify and repackage the sounds of almost every single musician who has made an impact on queer internet communities over the past several years, including but not limited to Charli XCX, Shygirl, Kim Petras, Namasenda and the late Sophie, who is rolling in her grave at the familiar fruit production on a song named 'Pretty Pretty Gang Gang'.
