Press Release: "Moving Out of Town"
3-Track Remix EP + Official Cover Art Reveal

It is with great PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈 that we deliver to you our most anticipated release of the year. In the enduring tradition of gay anthems, our forthcoming single "Moving Out of Town" sits right up there with the best of them! (i.e. "I Am What I Am", "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", "It's Raining Men", "Smalltown Boy", "I Will Survive", "Y.M.C.A", "Dancing Queen", "Believe", "I'm Coming Out", and "Born This Way")

Hoyt and I poured our musical hearts into this composition. It tells our personal story of how we left our small town and moved to New York City to live our lives authentically. This song has been 30 years in the making and is like a page torn out of our diary. We hope its universal message of empowerment will help to lift the spirits of the LGBTQ+ community for years to come.

The lead vocals are sung passionately by Nick Bramlett. There are "Divine" influences here at play. The exciting rock guitars performed by Micah Blakeslee are simply out of this world! Matt Pop's outstanding music production is top-notch! His work here is worthy of an award for its sheer audio excellence. 🏆 The glorious cover art was hand-drawn with great care and illustrated by the magical Magenta Soulstar. We all worked hard as a team to make this extraordinary release possible. 

Moving Out of Town is dedicated to both Matthew Shepard (1976-1998) and Brandon Teena (1972-1993) and the thousands of others like them who never did make it out of town alive because of homophobia, transphobia, and hate.

Sincerely, Carly xoxo

The year was 2003. I was 30 years old and was excited to see Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle on the big screen! People would often tell me I looked like Cameron Diaz back then. It was a great film and a great time in my life.
