Mykki Blanco has premiered another new song from his forthcoming debut album Mykki. “My Nene”, featuring Woodkid, was given its first spin on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show last night, as The FADER report. Alongside the track premiere, Blanco also spoke to Lowe about his “mainstreaming”, signing to a label after years of independence, and the way that queer culture has reached out to new corners.

“My Nene” sees Blanco play with gender ambiguity. “‘My Nene’ is one of those songs where I get to play with gender roles,” he told The FADER, “As a queer artist, sometimes on a certain song I on purpose want to play with universal things. I on purpose want to make sure that I use wording that doesn’t gender what I do so that it can have a universal appeal... For me I’m definitely talking about a guy, that’s my baby, that’s my nene, but through the wording and through not gendering it, also a straight guy or straight woman could listen to that song and completely identify with it.”

Mykki is out on September 16 and features the previously released “High School Never Ends”, “The Plug Won’t”, and “Loner”. Listen to “My Nene” below.
