“Rainboy Boy” Keiynan Lonsdale’s Debut Album

Having released a number of dazzling singles over the last few years, (Rainbow Dragon, and Gay Street Fighter – we’re looking at you) Keiynan Lonsdale has released his debut album.

The heartthrob of LoveSimon and The CW’s The Flash posted to social media on Thursday (14 May) to reveal that his first full-length LP, Rainbow Boy, will release on the 29th of May.

His personal love letter to the black, queer community as well as to himself. The retro-esque R&B flair and innovative pop, this 14-track album is a heartwarming anthem of inclusivity.

Thank you @interviewmag for the vibe & support. I got to discuss my Queer AF & Black AF debut album Rainbow Boy (out now in bio), as well as Magic, Time, & much more.. with one of my favourite musicians ever.. sir @jacobcollier ! God is good. It was a dream chat & I smiled a lot. Thank you also to @richgreens for bomb ass 🔥 on the 📷. We had a good time. I always knew as a child, but had to rediscover as an adult.. that it is my life’s work to fight for freedom & be a messenger of love. I poured my fuckin heart & soul into this album for years to get it right, & whether you relate directly or not to these experiences, I hope you listen with care, for these are the human experiences of those systematically designed to not be heard or understood. But you’re starting to feel it now, and it’s a very good thing, we are all growing at an unstoppable rate towards peace. So.. baby boy, baby girl, baby beautiful ;), strap in, for the liberation has only just begun. 💋💪🏾💫
