'I'm fascinated by house mothers and how they raise kids that aren't their own, but teach them the ways of life, nurture them and bring them up...' thealexnewell
Growing up gender non-conforming, his own mother supported him unconditionally, and inspired his artistry as a result. In his new single,"Mama Told Me," Newell's impressive vocal range is on full display amid ascending synths and piano chords. His lyrics pay homage to his own mother, house mothers for LGBTQ children, and other maternal figures encouraging artists like him to embrace themselves:"Thank you for loving who I am," he sings.
When Newell sat down to co-write"Mama Told Me," his second track of 2020, he had just finished his run starring on the Broadway show,"I sang a song called, 'Mama Will Provide' [in several] shows a week and [when writing 'Mama Told Me'] I was in this mindset of what motherhood is, what it should be, what it looks at," Newell says."I know that I have one of the strongest mothers, who raised me since I was six and all by herself.
"Mama Told Me" follows the singer's comeback track and first release in four years,"Boy, You Can Keep It," a sassy kiss-off to suitors who are all flash and no substance.
