Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss has done it again. The Grammy Award-winning songwriter has penned a surefire hit single with her new song, “Closet Freak,” which blends pop and techno. Lawrence Washington, Atlanta’s own version of Lady Gaga, premiered it during a captivating three-minute performance at Aurum Lounge in Midtown Atlanta on Thursday, July 29.
The Atlanta housewives made one of their first public appearances together this summer to support the hair stylist and salon owner whose stage name is Miss Washington. In the “RHOA” series, Washington made cameo appearances as veteran housewife Sherée Whitfield’s personal hair stylist.
Noticeably absent was the rumored-to-be-ousted housewife Lisa Wu Hartwell, who, ironically, has a clothing line with the same name as Washington’s single. Housewives’ NeNe Leakes, newcomer Phaedra Parks, Kim Zolciak and a fashionably late Whitfield were full of life as they sat front row when Washington, preceded by long-limbed backup dancers, sashayed onto the platform in couture noir attire.
Aurum Lounge was definitely no place to be shocked by men wearing sky-high heels and heavy makeup. The lyrics in “Closet Freak” resonated with many of the partygoers because its message conveys freedom of expression and embracing one’s eccentricities.
“I am so thankful to Kandi, who wrote this song, it means so much [to me]. As you know the title of the song is ‘Closet Freak’ but you also know that I am not in the closet by any means, I believe in being true to who you are and living out your purpose,” Washington said passionately. He went on to thank his parents, who were present, and his sponsors Belvedere Vodka, Jane Carter Solution, a natural hair care product, and others.
It’s hard to say whether Miss Washington has any plans to give up his curling irons and straightening combs to go on a world tour, but he definitely has the chops and sexual energy to be an entertainment phenomenon.
