On Friday, Manhattan-based pop artist MuMu released “Brooklyn Tonight [Unplugged],” a stripped-down, acoustic version of a single that she released last year.
As can be deducted, queerness, women’s rights, and other themes relating to gender and sexuality are imperative to MuMu’s persona. In fact, you may already know the NYC-based artist from her viral song “Free the Nip,” which features the artist doing just that on the streets of the Big Apple. The music video has since racked up over a million streams on YouTube and counting.
‘Brooklyn Tonight Unplugged’ was initially inspired by a friend asking me to write a song about being the only queer person in the room. Then my love brain took over and it turned into a queer lady love song because, well, we need more of those. This is an acoustic version of the original for those queer lady slow jammers.

Growing up in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, MuMu has been surrounded by the arts her whole life. At an early age, she attended a performing art high school studying Musical Theatre. She then went on to continue her studies at NYU.
Since then, the artist has appeared in plays, movies, and television shows such as Nurse Jackie and Law and Order SVU. MuMu also makes sure to stay loyal to New York during her tours, having a history of performing in Rockwood Music Hall, Arlene’s Grocery, The Bitter End, and Bowery Electric.
