Composer Paul Slavens voices Hamlet, accompanied by singer Rosana Eckert, on the fun-filled "Ophelia"

PREMIERE

Hi! Do you enjoy Frank Zappa, They Might Be Giants, and Shakespeare as much as I do? Great! The new Paul Slavens single β€œOphelia” is the first bit of music that I heard from his upcoming 𝘈𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘒𝘣𝘦𝘡 𝘎π˜ͺ𝘳𝘭𝘴, 𝘝𝘰𝘭. 𝘐𝘐 (June 24, State Fair Records.)

My reaction: Paul is a genius. Paul is nuts. I need to talk about it! This tune in which Hamlet asks the doomed Danish noblewoman to β€œgive a guy some slack” is just the thing to draw a desperately needed smile. Treat Yo Self!
