MICHAEL VAN LONDON DROPS “WELCOME TO NEW YORK” FROM TAY TAY HOMAGE: “TAYLOR SWIFT CLASSICS”

“Taylor Swift Classics” is Van London’s first offering since making waves with his work with director Brian Dannelly (Saved!) on the major motion picture “Struck By Lightning“. Van London’s album “American Blood & Guts” comprised the majority of soundtrack for the film written by and starring Chris Colfer. His new incarnation as “Michael Van London and the Mosaic Broken Hearts Club” finds him an opportunity to pay his highest respects to “pop princess” Taylor Swift as well the chance to give back to causes close to his heart: animals and LGBT youth.

“I discovered Taylor Swift in the last couple of years. I was late to the game, admittedly: initially judgmental due to her image and the corporate music background, and as a indie-rocker at heart, I think you’re taught to fear the mainstream. But she is the real deal and I wanted to document my deep affinity to Taylor and her music with this EP. And donating 100% of the proceeds from this release it gives me a chance to pay it forward and isn’t that really what we need more than anything today?” posed Van London.

“Welcome To New York” drops today as a prelude to the rest of the EP coming in Spring 2020. A “Roller-Release” listening party hosted by Michael Van London to celebrate the second single “How You Get The Girl” and complete EP release is being planned at Seattle’s Southgate Roller Rink for Spring 2020.
