Many fans know Destin Conrad as the infectiously charming musician creating his own brand of electrifying queer music, but some of us also remember him from his cheeky days as an adolescent vine star.

Conrad has since flourished into an incredible entertainer with a unique sound and vision. Recently, the Florida-born and raised singer-songwriter captivated the queer community with his velvety, enchanting music videos featuring Kehlani and Teezo Touchdown following the release of his debut album, LOVE ON DIGITAL.

Destin Conrad and Teezo Touchdown’s song, “The Last Time,” offers a refreshing twist on classic R&B. The duo passionately sing about the complexities of a relationship, channeling old-school yearning.

The music video also does the song justice—Conrad and Teezo are seen clad in silver armor, adorned with dazzling gems on their bodies as they pose in front of a covered car. The chemistry between Destin Conrad and Teezo Touchdown elevates the video’s simplistic theme, making us feel like male R&B artists could once again be on the rise.

Meanwhile, Kehlani and Conrad’s song, “Bad B*tches”, is a certified summer bop! This track vastly differs from “The Last Time”‘s burning desire vibes. Bad B*tches is an upbeat anthem for dancing with your besties in the club, at home, or wherever! Plus, the music video is spicy, and we must discuss it! It stars the duo surrounded by exotic dancers and features a steamy sequence between Kehlani and a dancer that sent the queer community into a hot and bothered uproar.

Destin Conrad, you are a star! He’s prepared us for the summer with 15 sensual, innovative, and fun queer tracks on his album, LOVE ON DIGITAL.
