Marc Ambrosia embraces authenticity on anthemic single, "Gay and Proud"
In his upcoming studio album, "Gay and Proud," Marc Ambrosia fearlessly celebrates a truth he has kept hidden for two decades: he’s gay. With the release of the lead single of the same name called "Gay and Proud," Ambrosia embarks on a journey of self-acceptance, inspiring others to embrace their own authentic selves.
Ambrosia candidly shares, "I've known I was gay since I was eight years old. Despite that, I never imagined being able to admit it to anyone, let alone publicly." The artist reflects on the range of emotions he experienced over the years, from rage and shame to fear. He struggled with a sense of anger, longing to be "normal," and carried the weight of secrecy. It took him twenty years to find the courage to not only speak the words aloud but also to fully accept and love himself.
As the first release from the forthcoming album, "Gay and Proud," the single encapsulates Ambrosia's journey of self-discovery and self-love. It serves as a celebration of life, a life that was once burdened by self-hate and is now filled with acceptance and peace. It can be such a difficult journey for so many and sincerely it’s songs like this and messages accompanied that can act as a sense of empowerment for many.
"Gay and Proud" showcases a remarkable shift in sound for Ambrosia, presenting a fresh and invigorating sonic experience. It stands as an anthem, resonating with vulnerability, heartfelt emotion, and compelling storytelling. The lyrics weave a powerful narrative, inviting listeners into Ambrosia's personal journey and fostering a sense of connection and understanding.
The craftsmanship and authenticity of "Gay and Proud" are evident throughout the song. Ambrosia's voice carries the weight of his experiences, pouring sincerity and passion into every note. The production, still being meticulously crafted in the studio, complements the anthem-like quality of the track, creating an immersive musical experience. Obviously we can’t wait for the full album, but in the meantime, let this song be the soundtrack to tide you over.
