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 โ€œOpheliaโ€ is the first bit of music that I heard from his upcoming ๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜Ž๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ญ๐˜ด, ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ. ๐˜๐˜ (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 โ€œgive a guy some slackโ€ is just the thing to draw a desperately needed smile. Treat Yo Self!
