Overview
- In mid-July Interview magazine coverage, Beata MonaLisa said she is putting the finishing touches on her first album, which she described as "pro-queer, anti-macho" and focused on identity and empowering women.
- Beata told the profile the record contains about nine songs with most nearly complete and that one track satirizes Donald Trump.
- She has adopted the stage name Beata MonaLisa to separate her public persona from the Thunberg name and has repeatedly refused to speak for her sister, saying, "I'm not responsible for other people's lives."
- Beata has long performed in Sweden, including playing young Édith Piaf in a 2020 musical with her mother, and said queer audiences embraced her after she sang at an event hosted by Drag Race Sweden's Robert Fux.
- Reports note that renewed attention follows years in which Greta's fame exposed family members to harassment, and coverage so far has been driven largely by lifestyle and tabloid outlets emphasizing image, music themes, and family distance rather than policy or politics.
