Feature Artist: Drake Jensen continues to receive praise for his latest single “Burn The Floor”
As we close out pride month we felt it would be appropriate to feature the latest music from our friend, and client, Drake Jensen. We were introduced to Ottawa based country artist Drake Jensen through one of our photographers and started working with Drake to help promote the release of his latest single “Burn The Floor”. Drake has been receiving praise from around the world for the video that accompanies the single critics calling it a pure celebration of queer identity. Billboard Magazine said “If you thought that modern country and queer clubbing don’t go together, you thought wrong. In his new video for “Burn the Floor,” Canadian country singer Drake Jensen chooses a seemingly typical country bar as the backdrop to his country-twinged song, but with various members of the LGBTQ club community taking over to have the night of their lives and, yes, “Burn the Floor.”
