}} ''Beauty Marked'' is the debut studio album by American drag queen Miss Fame, released on June 9, 2015, by Sidecar Records. Musically, the album is compiled of pop and dance music, with electronic elements, and features appearances from fellow ''Drag Race'' contestants, season five runner-up Alaska Thunderfuck, and season seven winner Violet Chachki. ==Background== On December 7, 2014, during the "Ru-Veal" of the seventh season of ''RuPaul's Drag Race'', Miss Fame was the first queen announced to be a contestant on the show. Miss Fame's angle on the show was a "supermodel" aesthetic. After performing moderately well in the competition, never falling in to the bottom two until episode nine, he was eliminated in the ninth episode, "Divine Inspiration", placing him seventh overall. In promotion of the show, a compilation album, ''RuPaul Presents: CoverGurlz2'' was released, consisting of covers of various RuPaul songs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=iTunes - Music - RuPaul Presents CoverGurlz2 by RuPaul )〕 The tracks were all performed by the contestants of the show, with Dam-Mikkelsen contributing a cover of "Drag Race Theme", a song originally from RuPaul's album ''Champion'', to the album. This was Dam-Mikkelsen's first official appearance on a musical project, although he later contributed vocals for "Tan with You", a parody of RuPaul's song "Dance with U", on an episode of ''RuPaul's Drag Race''. Dam-Mikkelsen first announced that he was releasing music during an interview with Miss Fame, conducted by vlogging team Feast of Fun, with him announcing it as "some sound for the people to live off of for the next period of time", although he did not specify whether he would be releasing a single or a full album at the time. Regarding the album's title, during the premiere of ''RuPaul's Drag Race'', upon first meeting Miss Fame, he says "I'm ready to show everybody what I'm ''meant'' to do, which is leave a beauty mark on the face of the planet". Later, in an interview with ''The Advocate'', Dam-Mikkelsen stated "I've yet to leave my 'Beauty Mark'".〔 He also further commented on his music: "Regarding my music, I was inspired by truth and beauty. The album is an ambient pop creation. I put… in every aspect and vision and feel that it's something completely new and original — deeply humanizing and showcasing truths others may never have known about me. I felt alive creating this album, and completely in tune with my true essence. It also includes purely fun music we can all enjoy to dance to, but I remained true to myself. I am so proud of what I was able to create and realized that we are only as big as we allow yourself to be. I can't wait to share this album."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beauty Marked」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
