RuPaul has had an illustrious music career ever since she released her single 'Supermodel (You Better Work)' back in 1992. Thanks to producer Lucian Piane, Ru's music has been on another level. Her last album Born Naked has been the highlight of her career with better pop songs than most artists are delivering today.

In true drag queen style, Ru dropped her new album Realness the day Season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race began airing. The new album was wholly unexpected, but it's also a return to the beginning of her career. Teaming up with 'Supermodel' producer Eric Kupper, Ru returns to her '90s house days after the movement has re-surged in the recent months (Kiesza's album Sound of a Woman has been on heavy rotation with Ru).

The album is not as strong as Born Naked, but it's easily her second best album to date. There's no need to get up in da club because Ru's bringing the club to your bedroom. The album plays like a DJ's wet dream, the '90s house beats reverberating down your spine with every track. The album features another new collaboration with Celebrity Big Brother star Michelle Visage, 'L.A. Rhythm' which is one of the highlights of the album. Both the JROB and Matt Moss mixes are scorching hot.

Ru's Skin Wars host, Rebecca Romijn, makes an unexpected appearance on 'Color Me Love' which just happens to be one of the most addicting tracks. It's a huge party track that you could dance to for hours. Ru lowers the BPM for a bit with songs like 'I Blame You' and the title track 'The Realness'. But don't get it twisted, these songs will leave you trapped in their dark, pulsating beats on the dance floor.

The album features two re-workings of some of Ru's older work. His infamous disco collab with Lady Bunny, 'Throw Ya Hands Up', gets a hot makeover, and his duet 'Born Naked' with Clairy Browne loses its rock vibe and becomes one of the biggest club tracks you'll hear this year. He even throws an LGBT-empowerment anthem into the mix with the aptly titled 'LGBT' featuring famed porn mogul, Chi Chi LaRue.

The record, however, hits its peak with 'Die Tomorrow' and 'Step It Up'. The Frankmusik-produced track is the sequel to their duet 'Fly Tonight' on Born Naked, and it's a worthy companion. It's my personal favorite on the record, giving us an empowerment anthem backed by Frankmusik's signature sound. And let's not forget possibly the biggest collab Ru could have done for this record. Somehow the legendary Dave Audé worked with RuPaul on 'Step It Up' and it's perfect. Inspired by T.S. Madison, 'Step It Up' is signature unapologetic, tongue-in-cheek Ru as he tells all those biological females out there to step their pussies up.

'90s house is where Ru thrives, it's evident, and Realness may just be his most cohesive effort to date. I've lost count of how many times I've spun this record in the past week. It's everything you could ever want from Ru.
