Aussie RuPaul’s Drag Race season 6 alum Courtney Act released the first single from her forthcoming debut LP Kaleidoscope today via Billboard.

The pop number is called “Ecstasy,” and Act says it was “inspired by a euphoric night of dancing at Burning Man a few years ago.” It kind of puts you in mind of fellow Australian native and gay icon Kylie Minogue, which is fitting, because William Baker, creative director of many a Kylie video, directed the song’s video two weeks ago in London. That’s due out June 1st.

Kaleidoscope is a seven-song album that finds her collaborating with Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears. It’s scheduled to drop July 7th. Hear the track in the video below. You can buy it on Amazon, or on a pay-what-you-can basis here.
