We chat with gay Kiwi entertainer and internet celeb PattyBoy, about his new song Unicorn, that has just been released and continues to climb the iTunes charts.
A&A: What is Unicorn about?
PattyBoy: Unicorn is about a crush, someone who is too perfect in your eyes that the love you have for them becomes fictional, like a fantasy.
How long did it take to make?
I wrote this song halfway through last year, it took a few weeks perfecting the lyrics. It wasn’t until about two months ago I started producing and recording it as a single.
How do you think your songs have changed since you began?
They have changed a lot in terms of cleanness in the production side now that I have professional recording equipment and also my voice has gotten better I believe.
The artwork is pretty gay! Tell us about the thought behind it.
The theme for Unicorn artwork is that I am much like Peter Pan, living in a fantasy world forever searching and hoping to find love. So there I wait, except one can not love another until one can love ones self. This is the real journey.
We understand your song is in the Top 100 of New Zealand’s iTunes chart. Is that exciting or what?!
It is unreal! Right now it sits at #49 in the NZ iTunes Pop Charts which is a huge deal for me. I can’t believe the support coming from my friends and fans in downloading Unicorn. I am very lucky and will only give back what I earn from iTunes to them through my music.
Is this your first iTunes release?
Unicorn is my first official release on iTunes and is a test to see how it goes. So far as you can see it’s going better than I could have imagined.
When is your next song? What is it about?
I’m not one to plan when my songs come out or when I will be working on them. I’m constantly writing and ideas are always swimming and evolving in my head. I want to focus on the music video for Unicorn next and then what ever song comes through naturally after that will be the right song at the right time.
Anything else you’d like to say?
I’d like to thank you, Aaron and Andy, for taking the time to interview me and I love and respect you so much for what you are doing for the community. Wear Your Colours, baby!
You can help PattyBoy’s Unicorn climb the charts even further by buying it on iTunes now!
not to be rude but this guy sucks at singing its worst then hearing fingernails down a chalk board
Good on Patty boy, was actually quite a beautiful song the last one, come on iTunes accepted his last single, that means hes at least good.
What are you on? Itunes accepted Rebecca Black. Enough said.
iTunes don’t have a vetting process. They will sell anything someone wants to put up.
Still good on him, at least someone is putting a POSITIVE image out there for the community.
Still good on him even though you were wrong? ADMIT IT!!!
ok I admit to you just this once k, lol
, not like I have to say ivy queen was right.
shame you had to thumb my comment down in the process hoe
I just thumbed that one down
cares
How is it a positive image? He’s a pastiche/caricature of every gay stereotype/demeaning insult everyone has ever thrown at us. It’s not positive at all, it’s insulting.
maybe so , but James you are no better because you are the epitome of everything that is wrong with white middle/upper New Zealand.
PattyBoy has packed a good package voice, music, mixing, and art work. His voice is quite good. He’s only 21 years old and produces his art with his money from his sweaty work and free time. I wish him a great future in music, and soon an international music producer is aware of him.
PS: Many today recording artist have horrible voice tune without the recording process.
I’m totally loving following Pattyboy and his growth with his art. His work is getting more and more polished and I can’t wait to see the video for this song when it is made. He might not be the best singer in the world but he is real, his message is real, and he is an inspiration.
I love the concept of the song Unicorn
u r my unicorn *oxoxoxo*
Is that a reference to her penis?
We can only assume, lulcats.
Excuse me you transphobic piece of shit, say that to may face.
Good to see you still have the temper of a man.
Good to see you still a sexist pig, who thinks only men have tempers. I didn’t say I was gonna punch just rip you eyes out.
u can get rough with me anytime honey
He is fucking awful.
youre awful james
You’re allowed to think so, but I’m not putting “music” out there for people to critique. If I were to put something out there, I would welcome the comments – positive or bad. That’s part of the creative process. Either way, it doesn’t change my point – a point which remains valid.
youre still awful
Your logic is flawed. You ‘put out’ every time you pain us with your thoughts.
k
Utterly atrocious.
