To be perfectly honest we are not major fans of the great Midwest , however that doesn’t stop us liking this music of one of its own peeps …….and to be totally truthful the red beard helps.

Queer singer/songwriter KYLE MOTSINGER is no stranger to these pages and so we were real happy when he sent us the video of his latest music Parallel Universe.  So we called him to ask what inspired him to write this as there is ALWAYS a story behind everything he does  : here’s what he told us.

I wrote “Parallel Universe” after an encounter with a former lover while visiting family for the holidays in Illinois. I started imagining different scenarios in which we could be together. It felt like each scenario was a different parallel universe. What if there were multiple versions of us out there that were living these scenarios? I do love a good science fiction story! I was also more than a little bit inspired by the play/movie, Rabbit Hole, written by David Lindsay-Abaire.

I wrote it as a pop/rock ballad and worked with fellow singer/songwriter Corey Tut to get the sound right in the studio. Chris Bonner recorded bass and Adam Stoler recorded guitars while on the road with the Broadway musical, “Come From Away.” Ben Talmi at Greylock Records in Brooklyn recorded the creepily beautiful theravox (similar to a theramin) that weaves in and out of the track. 

hope this song makes you think about how choices can lead to many different outcomes. I also hope you think it rocks!
