So, it’s an important attempt, that’s for sure. But, there are certain glitches that can’t be ignored. There are points when Pallavi does too much with her voice when she should have just let the instruments do the talking. And the rhythmic structure of the rap section is as jarring as sitting inside a tin hut on a sunny day and suddenly hearing the pitter patter of raindrops. That being said, the musicality of the album is so impressive that the funk parts, especially, transport the listener to a gay club in New York from the early ’80s. Pallavi’s voice, too, has a smoky richness and the vastness of her range comes from her training in Hindustani classical. This helps in overriding Queerism’s weak points and underlining its core message — that this is the 21st century, and there’s no need to keep skeletons in the closet.
