Shartistry in Motion is the second studio album by American drag queen Willam Belli, released on June 2, 2015. The album was self-released by Belli but experienced a much wider release than his previous album, The Wreckoning (2012), and was made available to buy on iTunes [1] and Amazon, [2] and to stream on Spotify. Much alike Belli's debut album, Shartistry in Motion features a mixture of original songs and parodies. The album quickly became Belli's most successful album, debuting at number 1 on the Billboard Comedy Albums chart. [3]
Two of the main collaborators on Shartistry in Motion, Courtney Act and Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 are both members of the drag group American Apparel Ad Girls with Belli. Detox Icunt and Vicky Vox, main collaborators on Belli's debut album The Wreckoning and ex-members of the band DWV with Willam, did not return for his sophomore album as the group disbanded in 2014. [4] However, Rhea Litré, a drag queen in Willam's other disbanded group Tranzkuntinental and who featured on "Let's Have a KaiKai" on Belli's 2012 album, returned to feature on "U.C.C.".
Shartistry in Motion features three original songs, "Coin on the Dresser", "How Much Can't", and "Thick Thighs" with fellow RuPaul's Drag Race season 4 alumni Latrice Royale. The rest of the songs featured on the album are parodies of popular songs; "Ride for AIDS" is a parody of " Blank Space" by Taylor Swift, "American Apparel Ad Girls" is a parody of "Farrah Fawcett Hair" by Capital Cities, "U.C.C." is a parody of " Love on Top" by Beyoncé, and "Only Anally" is a version of " Unconditionally" by Katy Perry. "Es Una Pasiva" is a solo version of the DWV hit "Boy Is a Bottom", sung in Spanish.
Much of Shartistry in Motion's promotion came from Belli's YouTube channel, Twitter account, website, and the single's music videos, with some being posted up to a year before the album's release. [5] Belli also toured in numerous places across the United States, South America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, some with the American Apparel Ad Girls and some solo. [6]
