Music and art and fashion and TV and puppies and building things with people I love saved me this year. 

#Gucci

We finished tracking my vocals for a ton of stuff I can’t talk about yet this week. Feels relieving somehow, given this dangerous time in the world. Now if I disappear, at least these songs won’t.

Here are some behind the scenes shots to prove I went outside:

‪…listening to the demos from this new record I’ve been working on with Gino Mari. ‬

‪I sound like a horny, deranged madman who has been trapped inside his house for half a year on every single one of these songs. ‬

Ok, so…there have been a lot of exciting things happen over the past year, ranging from Jay Mohr producing my new record, to having people I adore like The Dandy Warhols, Jarryd James, Rian Lewis, The Upsidedown, DoublePlusGood, Stose and others sign onto the project by way of upcoming collaborations; but today I am completely freaking out.

When I was 8 years old, 80s pop phenom Tiffany‘s “I Think We’re Alone Now” found its way to my ears, my dancing feet, and my heart…which was hurting pretty badly at the time. Tiffany’s voice and songs were a lifeline for me back then, and I am so excited to announce that my original musical hero has also signed on to collaborate with me on a song for “My Movie Star”!!!

The details are still top secret for now, but I could not possibly be happier about this if I tried. OH MY GOD. 🙂

I was interviewed by New Noise Magazine for their current print issue. We talked about music, mental health, my new record with Jay Mohr and a bunch of other stuff.

Here is a screenshot of the piece, which appears on page 6:

I was interviewed this week for Artis Waves: Pride Edition. We talked about life, love, my new record with GLASYS and Jay Mohr, and a bunch of gay stuff cuz, you know…PRIDE.

What Pride Month Means to Me:
Music and video has always been a way for me to push back on dominant culture. As a queer youth, making songs about coming to terms with my own sexuality and exit from the non-affirming conservative Christian cult I was raised in, there were many times where being able to connect to myself by way of those songs was really instrumental in keeping me alive. Pride is a 365 day annual experience for me. I come out over and over and continue to be a visible gay person in rooms that have maybe historically not been very welcoming…and are sometimes not welcoming still. My songs, my records, my style, my voice out in the world — those are the ways in which I am able to combat the oppression in my life. My response to the election, to the violence in the community, is to dial my gay up. You thought I was sparkly before? Well, look at me now. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey Portland! Join Sheila Hamilton, Jennifer Pepin and yours truly at 5pm on May 10th at PNCA for “Destigmatizing Mental Illness”.

Well, friends? January has turned into quite the thing! We still have a couple of days left in this first month of 2016, but after releasing my new video “The One” on New Year’s Eve, a bunch of seriously fun things have happened. 😉

Haven’t seen it yet? Watch it here:

I first want to thank Portland’s 101.9 KINK FM Radio (the #1 Rock Station in the U.S.) for picking up the single immediately and playing it on the radio so much since the release, as well as 99.1 Wild Planet FM Radio and KGW News “Live at 7” for having me on. I feel the hometown Portland love — and the feeling is mutual all around!

New Noise Magazine premiered the video in the States, followed by MTV’s Logo Network (where we were trending online for over 2 weeks!), Accidental Bear, Culture Brats, Oregon Music News and Hype Machine.

I was interviewed by UK Music Site The Sound of Confusion, Glide Magazine, Seattle’s OutSpoken Radio, and Austin Music Podcast “Casting For Two”!

Our song was featured on The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) #NewMusicFriday Playlist, as well as on Propuesta de la Semana, El Podcast #97 (Mexico), Skope Magazine, Roth and Roll (Sweden), Essentially Pop Magazine, Dream Chaser, Our Daily Queer, Blooming OUT Radio, OOYUZ, Quest of Life Radio, Gay News Radio, OPB Music and (perhaps most importantly) Vortex Music Magazine’s Social Media for “Kiss A Ginger Day”. HA!

As of just now when I went to grab the embed code for this post, the video has been watched over 70,000 times. Thank you to each of you who have watched, shared, liked and commented on the video since its release 4 weeks ago. I love you all so much!

The full record, “Adieu”, is coming your way September 27th, with another new single and video before that this spring, so…stay tuned!

HUGE thanks to everyone who bought my new record Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks during its 1st week! It landed at #83 on the iTunes new releases pop chart as a result, just between newbies from Chaka Khan and Susanna Hoffs. We beat out Gangnam Style, y’all!

It’s that time again! With the “Turn Me Out” music video approaching (and the full record following closely behind) Davey, Gino and I decided that it would be fun to have a good, old-fashioned remix contest. If you are a DJ, Band, Producer or Music Nerd and would like to have your work showcased on upcoming singles and used all over ye ole internets and in dance clubs promoting this new record we’ve been working on the past two years, here’s your chance!

We are looking for remixes of my new single “Turn Me Out” in all genres. Winners will receive my entire discography (1999-2012) as well as more exposure than you will know what to do with. All submissions must be received by Friday, August 10th (so you have a little over one month to make the magic happen). Please submit your track in hi-quality WAV or AIFF format to Logan@LoganLynnMusic.com. To download all the files and remixable audio stems you’ll need for said magic making, CLICK HERE (for the instruments and vocals) and also HERE (for the dry vocals). All entries, even those which are not chosen as contest winners, will be featured on LoganLynnMusic.com. Additionally, if we choose to officially release your track, you will get 50% of the profit from sales.

I can’t wait to hear what you all come up with!

Well, kids? My new single “Turn Me Out” is being released TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY on Tuesday, June 5th! There will be a new music video to follow, as well as a bunch of remixes over the coming months before the full record (as of yet untitled) comes out, but you only have to wait 14 more days for summer jam time!

We released the tracklist, audio and pre-order today here:

Logan Lynn: “Turn Me Out” (2012 Logan Lynn Music)
Produced by Gino Mari.

Digital – Bandcamp (Pre-Order)

1. Turn Me Out
2. Turn Me Out (Instrumental)

We are sending it out to press this week, so chances are pretty good it will start popping up places sooner than the 5th. In the meantime, here is one of the promo photos. I have decided wearing pants is for the birds…

😉

The countdown to June 5th is on!

XO,

Logan

Well, it’s been exactly two years since I announced I would be taking a two year hiatus and I am pleased to report that it is officially over next month. I’ve been working on a new record which is slated for this fall, and am going to be releasing the 1st single, “Turn Me Out” on Tuesday, June 5th, 2012 (3 weeks from today). The song was co-written by David Appaloosa (from pop supergroup The Hugs), and was produced and engineered by Gino Mari at The Country Club Recording Studios in Portland, Oregon.

We started shooting the “Turn Me Out” video this week as well, so…stay tuned! So much fun stuff happening…

Still keeping the audio for this new track under lock and key, but I released the cover art today. Check it out:
