Buckle Up
\n<\/strong>Amanda Lepore Takes Fans On A Wild, Fun Ride <\/strong><\/p>\n

By Tom Corliss<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Amanda Lepore\u2019s \u201cBuckle Up\u201d is flirty and playful song, with a burlesque, retro-pop swing. It is the first single from her soon-to-be-released LEPORE Ep and the first original solo release from the world\u2019s mega-famous transsexual since \u201cI\u2026Amanda Lepore,\u201d her acclaimed 2011 album debut that featured the smash hits, \u201cMy Hair Looks Fierce,\u201d \u201cChampagne,\u201d \u201cTurn Me Over\u201d and \u201cMy Pussy.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal with \u2018Buckle Up\u2019 is to whip naughty boys and girls around and leave \u2018em asking the questions they don\u2019t want their mothers knowing the answers to,\u201d coos Lepore. \u201cThe song is sexy, bubbly, and takes on the night like me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd just as I am easy on the eyes, \u2018Buckle Up\u2019 is easy on the ears,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBuckle Up\u201d was written and produced by RedTop (\u201cConvertible\u201d), Knifekick, Ted Ottaviano, DJ Angelo \u201cPepe,\u201d indie-pop ingenue Megan Vice and Lepore\u2019s long-time musical collaborator, Bill Coleman. It is being distributed by Peace Bisquit and is available for download now by pre-ordering LEPORE, releasing February 2018.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAmanda is a woman who unapologetically owns her sexuality and is never afraid to flaunt what she\u2019s got,\u201d explains writer Megan Vice. \u201cI had that in mind when I first began putting pen to paper. I wanted the listener to get a sense for how that tough broad managed to carve out her own path to greatness despite all of life\u2019s roadblocks. These days, it\u2019s Amanda\u2019s way or the highway, as it should be because she\u2019s earned it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the song\u2019s creation, the team knew they could not simply duplicate the achievements of the \u201cI\u2026Amanda Lepore\u201d album. In order to capture Amanda\u2019s million-watt personality in song, \u201dWe concentrated on figuring out the perfect equation that paired a sweet hook with a bouncy groove, to really showcase Amanda\u2018s devilish side,\u201d says Knifekick.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their aim was to marry Amanda\u2019s love of Hollywood glamour and vintage bombshells with kick-up-your-Louboutins humor and a showgirls-worthy groove. They needed just the right amount of camp that would compliment the canon of classics Amanda performs in her nightclub shows.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe think we nailed it in \u2018Buckle Up,\u2019\u201d says an enthusiastic Coleman. \u201cWe\u2019re excited for fans to hear the next evolution of music from the hardest working gal in nightlife.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The official audio video montage clip, edited by Scott J. Heller, features exclusive Amanda Lepore portraits by the likes of David LaChapelle, Vijat Mohindra, Josef Jasso, Karl Giant, Marco Ovando, Alvaro Villarrubia and more. The clip also includes many of Amanda\u2019s personal favorite images through the years, selected for her cherished memoir and coffee table book, Doll Parts. It\u2019s available now on Youtube.<\/p>\n
