Poundcake is the second studio album by American drag performer and recording artist Alaska Thunderfuck, released by Producer Entertainment Group on October 14, 2016. "Puppet" served as the lead single and received a music video.[1] The album features RuPaul's Drag Race alumnae Adore Delano, Gia Gunn, and Miss Fame, as well as drag performer Jackie Beat.[2] The former also appears in the music video for "The T".[3]
Composition
The album's title and the song "Puppet" refer to the "foul-mouthed" puppet Lil' Poundcake, a "beauty pageant competitor from hell" created by Alaska and Lineysha Sparx on the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race;[3] Alaska later dressed like Lil' Poundcake on the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.[1] Billboard's Patrick Crowley described "The T" as "tea-spilling" and "Minaj-esque"; the song features fellow Drag Race alumna Adore Delano.[3]
Release and promotion
Poundcake was released by the record label Producer Entertainment Group on October 14, 2016. The album was promoted by a music video for "Puppet", which served as the lead single. The music video tells the story of Lil' Poundcake; according to Billboard's Patrick Crowley, "After losing a beauty pageant of sorts, a crazed Gertrude Poundcakenstein goes on a crime spree. Joined by her sidekicks, Jiucy Liu and Chocolate Puddin, she robs a bank and wreaks havoc on Lower Manhattan."[1] The video references fellow alumna Roxxxy Andrews and features cameos by pornographic film actors Rocco Steele and Boomer Banks.[1] The music video for "The T" premiered on October 13 and features Adore Delano.[3]
