“… it’s absolutely perfect.” – Huffington Post
“Jinkx Monsoon showed off one hell of a voice during the singing challenge, which meant that it was only a matter of time before she started releasing her own music. And good news! Jinkx Monsoon will soon be releasing her first LP, The Inevitable Album.” – Pop Bytes
“If her collaboration with Major Scales on “Coffee and Wine” is any indication then she’s going to make one hell of a firecracker.” – Houston Press

While the end of Jinkx Monsoon’s reign as “America’s next drag superstar” (RuPaul’s Drag Race, LOGOtv) draws near, Jinkx proves this is only the beginning: Bringing her love and appreciation, she releases The Inevitable Album to the masses today!
Inspired by Bette Midler’s The Divine Miss M, The Inevitable Album features Fred Schneider of the B-52’s who wrote one of the original songs for the album, who Jinkx and album collaborator Major Scales both refer to as “a personal hero.” “The album also has many send ups to my favorite influences,” notes Jinkx, name-checking Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline, Marlene Dietrich, Cole Porter, burlesque and cabaret performance, and of course vodka on the rocks. “We concocted an album that is a cohesive mixture of classic and contemporary.”
Out joins in on the celebration, debuting “The Bacon Shake,” a delightful romp with the legendary Fred Schneider of the B-52s.
Jerick Hoffer, aka Jinkx Monsoon, is a Portland-born entertainer who started his career in the Seattle theater (Spring Awakening, RENT, and the lead in Hedwig and the Angry Inch) before landing a winning run on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Since then, Hoffer has performed as Jinkx Monsoon for adoring fans across the country and around the world; co-starred with Richard Andriessen (aka Major Scales) in a critically acclaimed off-Broadway run and Australia fringe festival tour of the original cabaret comedy, The Vaudevillians; performed as Velma Von Tussle in Hairspray in Concert (5th Avenue Theatre); and co-starred with Peaches Christ in the much-buzzed-about Return to Grey Gardens.
