Oyster Playlist: Big Freedia
The Queen Diva's top 10 dance floor fillers.
"This stuff turns ass-shaking into some kind of liberating pan-sexual celebration of everyone in the room," Vulture wrote about Big Freedia's live performance. A self-proclaimed 'Queen Diva', Big Freedia is a six-foot tall, high heel-wearing transgender MC who knows how to have fun and get people shaking it like a Polaroid picture. Hailing from New Orleans, Big Freedia is here for the Melbourne Festival and a string of sideshows (complete tour dates below). To get you ready to work it, Big Freedia made us this playlist of the top 10 d-floor fillers. Take it away, Queen Diva...
1. 'Get Me Bodied' — Beyonce
The beat makes you wanna move your body.
2. 'Birthday Cake' — Rihanna
I luv this song because it's always someones birthday at a club, so it'll get people dancing.
3. 'Don't Wake Me Up' — Chris Brown
The beat on this one does the opposite: it wakes you up and gets you movin'.
4. 'Excuse' — Big Freedia
You just get energy — and attitude — with this one.
5. 'Lovin The Crew' — Drake
This is the best song if you're at the club with your friends.
6. 'Hot In Here' — Nelly
No matter where you are on the globe, this will fill the dance floor!
7. 'No Letting Go' — Wayne Wonder
The groove and vibe of this song is just fun!
8. 'Starships' — Nicki Minaj
I luv this song because it's uplifting and inspiring.
9. 'Yeah' — Usher ft. Ludacris & Lil' Jon
This song is just hype — how can you not get on the dance floor when it comes on?
10. 'Another Round' — Chris Brown & Fat Joe
This is the one you wanna hear at the end of a night at a club…
