Get ready to turn up the heat because Party Favorz is back with the much-anticipated volume 2 of the 2022 edition of Gay Anthems For A New Generation featuring the biggest modern queer anthems. And let me tell you, this set is absolutely sizzling! We've packed this compilation with all the iconic gay anthems you'd expect from a series of this magnitude. But that's not all—we've also unearthed some hidden gems from the past 12 years that deserve their time in the spotlight. I've personally combed through this release with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a seamless and buttery-smooth listening experience. Now, here's some exciting news: when the 3rd volume drops next week, you'll find that we've left no stone unturned. This time capsule of music celebrates both our vibrant past and our vibrant present, capturing every aspect of gay life. But wait, there's more! I want to introduce an additional sub-category to the gay anthem list—one that we didn't cover in the previous post: teenage angst.

But even before that, there was the debut album from the Pretenders. In the new millennium, Emo music became the anthem for angst-ridden teens. While anyone can relate to the isolation and depression that comes with this stage of life, being gay added an extra layer of social anxiety and the longing for acceptance from peers. So, I want to dedicate this set to all those kids out there, assuring them that it does get better. It may not be perfect, but it definitely gets much, much better. I'm aware that gay pride events are already in full swing, so I'll be dropping the third and final volume of modern queer anthems around Thursday to keep the party going strong. Unfortunately, there won't be an official Gay Pride release this year for the circuit boys, but don't worry—I've got you covered. The pride-themed tracks will be included in part 1 of ...
