G Flip is among an impressive list of artists up for Outstanding Music Artist at the 37th annual GLAAD Media Awards.
GLAAD’s mission to accelerate acceptance and understanding for LGBTQ people through visibility in media stands stronger than ever, with the GLAAD Awards spotlighting 291 culture-changing nominees across 32 categories, honouring outstanding fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues in film, television, gaming, music, podcasting, journalism, Spanish-Language media, and more.
G Flip’s third studio album, Dream Ride, is repping Australia against Conan Gray’s Wishbone, Durand Bernarr’s BLOOM, Elton John and Brandi Carlile’s, Who Believes in Angels, Ethel Cain’s Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM, Maren Morris’ DREAMSICLE, Eeneé Rapp’s Bite Me, Ty Herndon’s THIRTY, Vol. 1, and Young Miko’s Do Not Disturb.
Dream Ride is a record that encapsulates neon-soaked highways, Hollywood nostalgia, and raw diary entries in a soft-focused, nostalgia-tinged package. Released worldwide just before they kicked off their US tour, the album distilled more than a hundred songs into ten cinematic tracks.
It is the follow up to 2023’s Drummer, which brought G Flip acclaim both commercially and critically. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone AU/NZ, G Flip shrugged off the weight of expectation that can come with producing a strong follow up.
“I don’t really feel any pressure when I’m creating songs,” they said. “No one can really do it for me. Say I’m trying to learn how to be a mechanic — there’s always going to be a mechanic who can do it better than me.

“But with songwriting, no one can do it for me. So whatever I come up with, I just give it the best I can. I always choose the songs I like the best and think will be fun to play live… and hopefully other people like them, too.”
The album landed at No. 14 on Rolling Stone AU/NZ‘s 50 Best Australian Albums of 2025 list. “Dream Ride plays like a soft-focus road movie, soundtracked by grit, heart, and widescreen nostalgia,” we wrote.
