Courtney Act has shared the video for her saucy new single "Body Parts." Both the song and the video take cues from vintage Madonna and Britney Spears, with its black-and-white dance segments a throwback to Madonna's classic "Vogue" video.
The song, off the RuPaul's Drag Race finalist's debut EP, Kaleidoscope, explores both lust and gender fluidity with coy lyrics like "Now that you got me, is this what you thought? / Rip off the label, I'm not what you bought / But you still like me, what does that mean?"
It was written with Australian pop star Sam Sparro and the Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears.
Act spoke to The Advocate in June about having a relationship with a younger, straight man. Although initially attracted to her in drag, the man dated Act out of drag for months thereafter. Exploring life outside gender binaries is a theme that recurs in her music, as evidenced by the video for the single "Ugly."
