Anyone needing a sick dance track to usher in the Halloween weekend, take heed: Keiynan Lonsdale just dropped his latest video, a steamy, stylish ode to dance titled “Gods of the Disco.”
The video finds Lonsdale and his friends (including a cameo by Nelson Moses Lassiter) hanging at an old-school Hollywood glam dance club. Lonsdale busts out his best Michael Jackson moves to a disco beat in an effort to get the too-cool-to-dance club-goers to join him on the dance floor.

“‘Gods of the Disco’ has become my pump-up song whenever I need to get myself right to go out to the club,” Lonsdale says of the tune. “The music gives me the vibes I need and puts me in the mood to have a great time, even if beforehand I am wrapped up on the couch like a well-behaved grandpa. And It works every time because that was the intention.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
We can’t wait to test it for ourselves. “Gods of the Disco” is Lonsdale’s latest single following the release of his debut album, Rainbow Boy, last year. The multi-hypenate can also currently be seen in the TV series Eden and will next appear in the film My Fake Boyfriend.
Crank the volume, and get ready to bust a move.

If MJ came out of the closet, he’d seem a lot like this. Kid’s voice is nothing special, but the song’s pretty good, and he’s cute to look at. 7/10

@graphicjack MJ is NOT gay/bi/non-heterosexual if you do your research you will find out he’s quite the “ladies man”- even tried to date Beyoncé before she met up with Jay-Z he had Stephanie Mills making him dinner during The Wiz if you think the #beehive or #barbz were crazy you have NEVER encountered #moonwalkers lmfao

I enjoyed it; plenty of action and nice editing!

I enjoyed it, too. But this type of quick-cut editing makes me crazy. I want to get enough of a glimpse at a scene to be able to know who’s doing what with whom. Kind of reminds me of the poor editing in most gay porn’s orgy scenes. (“Okay, nice close up — but whose dick IS that? and who’s bottoming?”)

Keiynan’s becoming more confident in himself, which is refreshing to see. I liked the video too. I see Lil Nas X’s inspiration in it, which is good. With the right material tailored to his voice and talents, Keiynan could have a hit on his hands.

In a world that has Lil’ Nas is there room for this too?
