Cera Gibson: new single “Daddy”
“Daddy” is SLC pop icon Cera Gibson’s self-proclaimed “gayest straight song.” According to her website bio, “Cera Gibson is two completely different people, depending on where you know her from. On stage, she's an elegant, captivating performer. While online, her presence is irreverent and ludicrous, with a wry, raunchy demeanor.” Gibson has a captivating and enigmatic catalog already, so hearing the new single from the singer is exciting and will be well worth the wait. The slow and romantic sounding bop starts out with Gibson’s soft vocals and builds throughout. The steamy track definitely lives up to the “gayest straight song” title the Gibson proclaimed. It’s an enjoyable adventure ride and easy to put on repeat.
