On October 12th, Blonde Medicine will release Ryan Singer's Free Love, a comedic love letter to the world, reminding people that they are allowed to believe and in fact, it is more fun to do so. For his fourth album, Singer decided it was time to share the love, so the album is free everywhere for everyone. This latest offering is Singer's attempt to wedge some fun, whimsy, and love into a world that has grown increasingly dark and divisive, so in that way it bucks the traditional trend that comedy must come from pain. Singer is anything but traditional and believes that great comedy can from joy and love. The material contained within his comedic universe is evidence of that - covering everything from the joys of growing older to believing in Bigfoot and the coming Singularity. For him one thing is certain: 'It's more fun to believe.'
