Maid in England
(1988)

Maid in England is an album by the American drag queen Divine. It contains 12 songs. The album's first three singles, "Walk Like a Man", "Twistin' the Night Away" and "Hard Magic", all charted in the UK.

Critical reception

Reviewing the album's re-release for Louder Than War, Phil Newall wrote that "all the expected Hi-NRG characteristics are present, frantic syncopated beats, massed male backing vocals insistent keyboard melodies", concluding that "what lifts Divine from the ranks of Hi-NRG masses are the growled vocals and the knowledge that Divine actually lived a counter culture life style as opposed to just singing about it."
