Colin Bedell is a queer-identifying astrologer and author of the new book Queer Cosmos: The Astrology of Queer Identities & Relationships, an extension of his astrology site of the same name. His interpretations of the stars can be found on Cosmopolitan’s weekly horoscopes and he’s working to make astrology accessible, both within his book and with his online presence. Oh, and he’s a Gemini – and a twin – so it’s only natural that his most endearing qualities are his intuitive nature and ability to comprehend the balance in energies.

In advance of the album, Unbuttoned released a video for the single, “Womxn Cry” which was directed by Victoria Long. “Womxn Cry” is a survivor’s rebel yell – emanating from places of both pain and perseverance. Kamilah Apong describes the track further, referring to it as “A breaking, a snapping, dying, resurrection. A deep love for self, and a deep hate of self. What it looks like, sometimes, when I lose my mind. What it sounds like to fall back in love with myself.”
