“There is a central hub of queer genius over at World of Wonder,” describes Leland of the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” production company. He and fellow composer Freddy Scott take inspiration from the ideas of producers RuPaul and Tom Campbell to write the catchy tunes featured in the hit VH1 reality competition series. For Season 13, this most notably includes the retro bop “Lucky,” sung by the top four contestants. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Leland explains that RuPaul and Campbell “had a vision for the title of the song, what the song should say, and the influences genre-wise.” With their directive in hand, the pair of composers got to work on expanding the concept. “We tried to give it a timeless and fresh feel,” says Leland, “breathing life into the melodies and fleshing out the lyrics.”
