It’s Friday, the inboxes are finally quiet and the club lights are flicking on — and «Outed on Friday!» has your official weekend soundtrack. From glittering club pop to cheeky seasonal singalongs and heart-on-sleeve balladry, this week’s roundup promises drama, hooks and plenty of reasons to hit replay.
Five sizzling new singles are poised to crash the LGBTQ Music Chart next week, and they’re not asking politely. If you’ve been hoarding votes like a miser with coins, now’s the time to spend them — your fave could rocket from barroom banger to chart-topper with one decisive click. Voting opens every Monday at the LGBTQ Music Chart site; make it part of your Monday ritual and give that track the shove it needs.
Now it’s revealed that me (Ephram St. Cloud) are this summer substitute on the LGBTQ Music Chart, don’t panic — the show is still the place for exclusive spins, hot takes and the kind of commentary that can make a sleeper track blow up overnight. It’s the queer music fix your weekend deserves: tune in, turn it up and bask in the chaos.

Fernando do Vale is a rising Brazilian digital creator and multimedia producer blending Artificial Intelligence, electronic music and LGBTQIA+ culture into a bold, future‑focused creative identity. His work pushes boundaries across tech and art, making him one of Brazil’s most exciting new digital voices.
Jordy’s «Cool Boy» dives straight into the sting of feeling not quite enough beside someone who seems effortlessly cool. The track unpacks the pressure to fit in, the urge to mimic a lifestyle that isn’t yours and the quiet battle between self‑acceptance and insecurity. With its honest lyrics and pop‑bright delivery, «Cool Boy» becomes a relatable anthem for anyone who’s ever felt overshadowed — and fought to embrace who they really are.
Conleth Kane makes a dazzling debut on the Outed On Friday! playlist with «Oh L’amour», cementing his status as one of the LGBTQ+ community’s most celebrated independent artists. The multi award‑winning Northern Irish singer‑songwriter — crowned Entertainer of the Year at the 2024 GNI Magazine Awards — has headlined Pride stages and sold‑out solo shows across the UK and Europe, earning acclaim for his authentic, emotionally charged pop. His single «Proud» became «an anthem for our times», praised by Out News Global and Diva Magazine for its message of living boldly and truthfully. In 2026, Kane honoured one of his biggest musical influences, Erasure, with a 7th Heaven‑produced EP marking the group’s 40th anniversary — supported by Andy Bell and launched at a sold‑out Royal Vauxhall Tavern show. With glowing 5‑star reviews from GNI Mag and Gay London Life, plus coverage in Australia’s top LGBTQ+ magazine DNA, Conleth Kane arrives on Outed On Friday! with pedigree, passion and pop power to spare.
Sakgra return with their feel‑good new single «Take Me Away», delivering a sun‑soaked burst of dance‑pop escapism. The Greek independent producer, composer and songwriter channels his passion for retro pop, electronic energy and the iconic sounds of the ’80s and ’90s, blending nostalgia with a fresh, modern edge. Having worked with Gazebo, Nicki French, Rozalla, Peter Wilson, Tight Fit, Sonia and recently produced the OST Un Balcon à Limoges, Sakgra once again proves his global appeal. «Take Me Away» is packed with positive vibes, catchy melodies and uplifting summer energy — created to capture the freedom, joy and pure excitement of the season.
DigiTeo return with «Just a Number», a stark, thought‑provoking reminder of life’s hardest truth — we arrive, we live, and eventually we leave. It’s the final part no one wants to talk about, especially in a world obsessed with fun and distraction. But every medal has two sides, and DigiTeo leans into the uncomfortable one, offering a track that might just help someone pause, reflect and use their time wisely.
