The LGBTQ+ can’t stop making great new music!
Lynks & Grove – BBB
Pride Life HQ favourite, Lynks, described themselves as a “massive stan for Grove”, and anyone who has seen Grove perform live would concur. BBB is the collaborative single from the pair which embraces their queerness, and certifies them both as the undisputed big bad bitches of Bristol and London.

GIRLI – Ruthless
GIRLI has been on the scene a hot minute, London through and through, she has been built a reputation for her unabashed feminist pop, in the countries capital. The 23-year-old identifies as queer and has always looked to fashion as another form of expression. Although, she’s not shy.
