“What’s gayer than being in love with your three best friends in high school?” asks Softee.

LGBT self-proclaimed “DIY popstar” Softee has made her own “queer prom fantasy” come to life in a new music video for her first single “Oh No”. The Minnesotan NY-based artist’s new track is an 80s-inspired synth bop – drawing influences from Charli XCX, Gwen Stefani, Kate Bush and Robyn.

After studying drama at the famed Juilliard School, she did a Vevo session with Lorde and made her Broadway debut in The Iceman Cometh starring Denzel Washington. Off the back of this, she’s decided to work on her own EP – “Oh No” being the first song to drop from the album.

“I wrote this song because to me it’s the ultimate lesbian emotive cycle: having a crush, fantasising about said crush to no end, being unsure if the feelings are reciprocated, and ultimately never making a move,” explains Softee. “The entire song is my inner narrative on a first date – a series of unresolved what ifs. Maybe this is my way of saying that if you are a queer woman and you think you’re flirting, you probably are so just go for it.”
