Out Music: Kyle Motsinger Warns Of A Dark, Dystopian World In ‘The Upside Down’

Out singer/songwriter Kyle Motsinger has dropped a dark new music video in time for Halloween and the Election! The track is titled “The Upside Down” and is the latest single from his new album, Any Way I Want It To! “When the world shut down due to a deadly pandemic I was left unemployed but inspired,” says Motsinger. “I wanted to create and document what we were going through. I said to a friend that I felt like we were living in the Upside Down from the hit show, “Stranger Things.” The Upside Down is a shadowy alternative of our world on “Stranger Things” that is full of monsters. In our real-life version, says Motsinger, we’ve “had to deal with an incompetent and selfish president and a deadly virus that has gone on to kill over 220,000 (so far) in the United States alone.”

The 80s-inspired, synth-heavy track conjures up an atmosphere of dark, dystopian dread:

This is life in the upside down Humanity enslaved by greedy orange clown Hang your Christmas lights I’m calling from the other side Something bad is coming and I have no place to hide I’m lost, lost in the upside down

Motsinger shot and edited the video all on his own due to time constraints on his usual cinematographer (and a lack of a budget without a Stimulus package being passed by Congress). BUT – the woofy ginger adds, “I think it proves that you can make magic happen if you have a little creativity and some colored lights!” The new track and album are available on iTunes here and you can stream via Spotify here.
