==Background== Realness was first mentioned in a Billboard interview with RuPaul on February 24, 2015, in which he commented on the titles meaning, saying "when drag talks about realness, it's always with a wink because, you know, here I am, a drag queen talking about looking and feeling real, which is the joke itself." Sonically, the album is heavily influenced by 1990s House music and diva house. The album was released for pre-order later, and eventually released on March 2, 2015.
