In a recent interview with Towleroad, Jinkx Monsoon revealed new details about her upcoming album. At the time of the interview, she said the current working title was The Inevitable Album, but after this tweet yesterday, it seems definite:
#TheInevitableAlbum. That is all :)

Jinkx said she will begin working in earnest on the album next month, after The Vaudevillians and The Battle of the Seasons Tour.
According to Jinkx, the album is "a little eclectic", which comes as no surprise. She continues, "It's a mix of original songs written by my music partner, Major Scales, who I do The Vaudevillians with, and some standards. We're working on a Kurt Weill song and some of the songs that we do in The Vaudevillians. Then, of course, because I’m a comedy queen, there are a couple of showtune parodies that I'm known for, and then one bonus track that's a dance-rap track. Most of the drag queens that have produced music after Drag Race have all been dance hits. Not that I wouldn't love to produce an album of dance hits, it's just never really been my style to make electronica music. I figured they're all doing so well at that, I should give something else a try."
Between her soon-to-be-released single 'Bring It' with Manila Luzon and this new album, we are just gagging!
