Eli, Wife Pleaser | Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈

In the 86^th edition of Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 (2025), we highlight “Wife Pleaser” performed by ascending transgender pop singer/songwriter Eli. 

Prepare to beam with P-R-I-D-E 🏳️‍🌈! Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 celebrates, embraces, and spotlights songs by LGBTQ musicians or allies.  Here, we provide background and insight into musicians, analyze, plus go gaga over the decadent bops served up.  When songs dictate deeper and more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is fully articulated.  All styles of music are welcome, whether the songs are classics or brand-new. So, without further ado, in the 86^th edition of Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 (2025), we highlight “Wife Pleaser” performed by Eli.

Ooh-wee, Eli!  The ascending transgender pop singer/songwriter (she pronouns) is confident as fuck on her 2024 single, “Wife Pleaser”. Eli understands who she is, and she shares it openly with the world.  “Show up and show out, fuck you talkin’ ‘bout? / Show up, limp wrist, blow a French kiss, mwah.” Not the limp wrist! Eli and benchwarmer (Nick Catrambone) produced the sub-three-minute-long joint.

“Wife Pleaser” features a sweet music backdrop, complete with great guitar accompaniment, keys, and contemporary R&B-infused pop vibes. Eli’s vocals are smooth, sensual, and playful throughout.  The melodies are both rhythmic and tuneful.  In the second verse, she asserts, “I don’t cook or clean / But I fuck so mean / His whole body scream.” Gah-day-um, Eli!  She concludes the verse, “Fuck a homophobe / Pleaser to the throat.” Fuck yeah! The crème de la crème, the centerpiece, is the chorus, which dives into gender and gender expression:

“I’m in a mini skirt and a wife pleaser

‘Is that a boy or a girl?’ Bitch, I’m the either

I’ma put your man in a chokehold

John is such a fan, I’m Yoko

I’m in a mini skirt and a wife pleaser.”

Eli, as quote, “the either” makes it crystal clear  “I know how to treat ya,” with plenty of fuck its, lick its, and hit its for emphasis.  “Wife Pleaser” is a fun, must-hear queer pop bop!
