In support of his upcoming EP Le Garçon, Solomon told Evoke Magazine’s Luis Gonzalez that he actually regrets being so open about his sexuality. He tells Evoke, “To be honest, I hate I ever mentioned myself as being gay because then you’re a ‘gay artist’ and a lot of gay artists are horrible. They were just decent looking guys who tried to be a Britney or a Gaga, and made it hard for others to be seen as artistic,” Solomon says. “It doesn’t define my music. My life defines my music and I define my life.”
With his current lead single “Swim No More” off Le Garçon, pleasing fans and critics, Solomon is excited to share his latest EP scheduled for a late January 2014 release. Le Garçon will be available in two versions. A standard version available worldwide for free download, as well as a deluxe version available two weeks prior exclusively on iTunes. The deluxe version will not only contain new music, but bonus tracks, a hidden song, poems, interludes and a digital booklet as well.
