Lowell, whose full name is Elizabeth Lowell Boland, dropped her first album in 2014. In her music she includes anecdotes about being a sex worker — the openly bisexual star dropped out of college and worked as a stripper for a period of time. She believes there’s nothing wrong with using sex for empowerment.

In an interview with Rolling Stone she talked about the song LGBT, an anthem that includes lyrics such as “Why are you afraid of how I feel? L-G-B-T, L-O-V-E, oho, don’t hate our love” alongside lines touching on homophobia such as “They never choose who they like, so they like me dead.”
