Le Fil has shared the music video for the lead single from his brand new EP, Le Filosophical.
A homage to the star’s Asian, queer and creative family, This Is My Culture is a thumping dance anthem in which Le Fil celebrates his identity and how he’s taken the “higher ground” to get to where he’s “meant to be”.
In the music video, directed by Joe Wood, the star showcases several of his classic, futuristic looks while serving intense choreography with various backup dancers.
Discussing the EP with GAY TIMES, Le Fil said the five-track collection is about “the feel-good messages” that he wants to “come out from all the lessons” he learned on Drag Race UK.
“This collection of songs are inspired by the runway,” he revealed.
“East to the West is inspired by Ru Are You? There’s also songs inspired by the hair week, which is Feeling So Good, because I was feeling myself! There’s a Pudsey song up there and we’ve got the new single which is This is My Culture.”
Le Fil continued: “It’s a lot of work and it’s really difficult to do this by yourself and without the support of your loved ones. This EP is a whole reflection of this journey and I’m so excited to share it with you all. It’s so much fun.”

Le Fil became a strong fan-favourite on the fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK thanks to their “offbeat” sense-of-humour, avant-garde runway presentations and “poptimistic” charm”.
Although they won a RuPeter Badge for performing at the first-ever Yaas-tonbury Festival with Queens of the Bone Age, and received praise for celebrating their Chinese culture, their time on the series came to an abrupt end with the Snatch Game; sashaying away in seventh place.
Following his exit, we spoke with Le Fil about his ‘thrilling’ Drag Race UK journey, the “powerful” response from Asian and Chinese viewers and Le Filosophical.
