Matt Palmer, LGBT Musician, Releases 'Break-Up'<\/b>
\nThis one is going to get stuck in your head for sure.<\/p>\n

Matt Palmer is a pop\/R&B musician whose EP “Stranger Than Fiction” served as his debut as an openly gay<\/a> artist. The first track off of the EP, “Break-Up,” has just been released with it’s own video<\/a> — and we love it!<\/p>\n

The Huffington Post chatted with Palmer this week about “Break-Up” and his vision for the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Huffington Post: What is your concept for “Break-Up”? <\/strong>
Matt Palmer<\/a>: The concept was created by me and the director Ryan Bartley. The verses show my character’s actual reaction to getting broken up with in a public place while the choruses are essentially how he sees these memories. He’d like to think he stayed calm, cool and collected while his world crumbled around him but clearly — that’s not what happened!<\/p>\n

Who is Matt Palmer as an artist? <\/strong>
\nI think of myself as a singer-songwriter at my core. While I love a polished, well-produced pop track more than anybody, all of my favorite songs can be played with just a piano and vocals and still hold up! I grew up listening to artists like Babyface, Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson, so I always try to write songs that really have emotional resonance like all of their work.<\/p>\n

Many argue that R&B as a genre has historically been rooted in homophobia. How do you aim to combat it through your work?<\/strong>
\nI don’t know that I’d say R&B is rooted in that history, but I’m sure many R&B fans have listened to artists with homophobic or misogynistic points of view on their records. I think I combat that by writing autobiographical songs that people outside of my specific demographic can relate to. If someone with no experience with gay<\/a> people likes my music and can relate to the lyrics, maybe they’ll see that we’re not all that different.<\/p>\n

What does the future hold for Matt Palmer? <\/strong>
\nThis year I want to do everything I can to get people to hear “Stranger Than Fiction”! I’m so proud of this collection of songs, and I am going to do my best to get people listening. I hope to play more live<\/a> shows and start writing songs to pitch to other artists later this year.<\/p>\n
