BLACK UNICORN 

 

Music has always been an art form full of emotional release and discharge. Sometimes the writing process can be a rollercoaster into itself let alone going into the studio to record it. 

 

And sometimes in Country music, Love is an emotion well documented and written about over and over again throughout the genres history. Whether it's heart break or heart mending. Love can be heard in millions of songs. 

 

Well how often do hear the male side of country music sing songs about being jolted out of a relationship and being fully open about the anger and frustration they feel about the situation? 

 

Well Christian Simeon the New Orleans based singer songwriter decided he felt like his anger had to be released about a bitter relationship that went south.  The end result is this release BLACK UNICORN. "I find allot of my buds like to keep their relationship problems secret, ya know show no emotion about the bad things. I decided I was going to write about mine. I just didn't feel right just walking away." says Christian

 

BLACK UNICORN is a record that takes you through his explosive frustration starting with the sizzling opener 'BURN'. The song introduces the record with a bouncy Southern rock vibe but toys with a Hip Hop undertone. While other songs like 'RED FLAGS' and 'LIAR/CHEATER' are flat out seek and destroy the notion that this man has any issues with opening up about how he feels about the relationship or lack there of. But at the same time they have these big Choruses that just make you want to sing along. They are quite contradictory in a way. 

 

"I had to do this record, I had to get this out of my system. And ya know sometimes you just want to be petty because you want to get back at the person. I just so happen to have the perfect medium to do it. I WRITE SONGS AND MAKE RECORDS." laughs Christian.

 

BLACK UNICORN goes on to provide you with more insight into the ins and outs of why he dislikes the way things went in the relationship and why he wanted to tell the world about it. In fact the only thing he doesn't tell you is the woman's name lol! 

 

'GONE ON...(YOU AIN'T RIGHT) , 'HEAVEN & HELL'  and 'THE END' just provide more colors and images of a man and woman who were not supposed to be together in the first place. The duet 'THE END' which features vocalist L.T. Thomas is a weird yet valiant effort at Christian writing from both and his ex's perspective. 

 

"I wanted to write a song that tried to explain it from both sides or what I perceived as both sides." and if that was not hard enough try asking a woman whom had nothing to do with the situation to sing a song that was written from another woman view. "I have been in relationships that had their dead ends myself. So it wasn't that hard to interpret another woman's feelings. Hell we've all been there!" Sighs L.T. Thomas 

 

BLACK UNICORN is a term used by a group of black men whom have made it a choice to try and be righteous in morals and behavior towards women that is not based on religion but more so on moral character. "I feel like I have been a good man most of my life any way. I've never felt like I was really in a disrespectful place with a woman. You hear so many horror stories from women talking about their encounters with men. And now to have been portrayed like that by a woman when I intellectually keep myself in an even kilter in regards to respecting a woman went not so right. I'm in shock and angry!" says Christian 

 

"I don't care if I sound lame or like a wuss doing this. I'm mad about it and I want to sing about it." angrily speaks Christian

 

Christian decided to write and sing a record to let an ex know personally your not right and I want YOU and THE WORLD. to know how he feels about it.
