LAST DAYS
Flamy Grant featuring Chris Housman
In July of 2023, self-proclaimed “superspreader” worship leader Sean Feucht declared that it was “truly the last days” when he posted a picture of drag queen Flamy Grant with other current and former Christian musicians Derek Webb, Jennifer Knapp, and Plumb on X, formerly Twitter. That tweet ended up launching Flamy’s debut album, Bible Belt Baby, to the top of the iTunes Christian music charts for nine consecutive days. A year later, Flamy is releasing a new single from her forthcoming sophomore album CHURCH that directly addresses the controversy. “Last Days” is an unflinching country-rock anthem that celebrates the “last days of mediocre men with no imagination whatsoever.” It’s not hard to guess who she’s singing about.
From Flamy: “If these truly are the last days, let them be the last days of bigotry, shame, and gatekeeping. American evangelicalism and the people like Sean Feucht who still carry its torch are laughably impotent when it comes to spiritual integrity. But they are also deeply dangerous in their ability to oppress, vilify, and ostracize the gifts of queer Christians. As we witness the bloat of Christian nationalism in America, I’m resolute about making art that invites people of conscience to stand up to this distorted, demented form of Christianity.”
