PG-13 is the debut studio album by American drag queen Sharon Needles, released on January 29, 2013.[1] It included a cover of Ministry's 1984 single "(Every Day Is) Halloween".[2][3] The album is a dance-pop and punk album, with elements of metal and electronica.[4][5]
Reception
Fred Thomas from AllMusic praised the album, saying "PG-13, is an apt reflection of his macabre personality, blending club pop beats with tongue-in-cheek takes on horror movie topics, often blurring the lines between terror and sexuality. Highlights of the album include the energetic 'This Club Is a Haunted House', featuring a cameo by RuPaul, and 'I Wish I Were Amanda Lepore', featuring none other than Amanda Lepore."[6] PG-13 debuted at number 186 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 3,000 copies in its first week.[7]
