Towa Bird, a 27-year-old British Filipina rock star, is set to release her sophomore album, *Gentleman*, on May 15. This album, produced by Patrick Wimberly, features 11 tracks and includes a guest verse from Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill. Towa aims to redefine the concept of a 'gentleman' by merging 'gentle' and 'man' to express her androgynous identity. In her music, she tackles themes of queer sexuality, emphasizing the need for open conversations about sex, especially in a society that often stigmatizes such discussions. Towa believes that talking about sex is an act of liberation, particularly for marginalized communities. She draws inspiration from her experiences and childhood, reflecting vulnerability in her lyrics. The album represents a significant evolution in her artistry, showcasing her confidence and willingness to break traditional song structures, allowing for more creative freedom. Towa hopes her music resonates with those who feel different and encourages them to embrace their identities.
