"It’s wonderful to see a brand like e.l.f. Cosmetics understand the power of music and choose to support music artists." said Betty Who, a singer and songwriter featured on the album. "Whether it’s the next generation of emerging acts or more established artists like myself, in this day and age, this kind of support can help an artist immensely. Makeup, like music, is a form of self expression and they go hand in hand. I’m grateful for the collaboration and excited for the world to hear the album."
“I love that e.l.f doesn't shy away from being different, from their products, to the way they are supporting emerging artists with this album,” said Meduulla, one of the artists featured on the album. “e.l.f.’s products are so diverse and they make me feel so empowered because they don't make you feel like you have to be a professional makeup artist to use them. I can literally create unique looks that feel authentically me.”
“As an independent, queer artist, I never would have thought a collaboration with a brand as iconic as e.l.f. would be in the cards, but here we are! This album really shows e.l.f. isn’t afraid to shake it up and give a platform to every kind of person,” said Cakes da Killa, a featured artist. “Makeup and music are my favorite tools for empowerment and escapism. When you put the two together there’s bound to be magic.”
