"This out dance-pop artist packs born-this-way swagger…a synthful standout" - PEOPLE Magazine "He writes from the heart." - Clive Davis "Intense, electric pulsing songs delivered with sometimes serious, always edgy and often humorous lyrics from the pop-wizard…a new George Michael." Celebrity Cafe "Brilliant!" - RuPaul "Ari's doing for pop music what Obama did for the presidency" Whoopi Goldberg A retrospective remix project, “Play My F**kn Remix” will chronicle Gold’s pioneering career as an openly gay male pop singer-songwriter since his first album was released in 2000. The 14-track album includes 12 remixes of his Billboard Top 10 award-winning singles including Top 10 Billboard Dance hit “Where The Music Takes You” featuring Sasha Allen (The Voice Season 4), and two previously unreleased new songs, “Details Of My Life” and “Love Goddess (Tribute to Marilyn).” The album will also feature photographic art by celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz, which will also be used for Ruiz’s new app, #prettymasculine. The kick-off single, “Play My F**kn Record (Country Club Martini Radio Mix),” offers fans a glimpse at Gold’s more cheeky side, in a new 3D music video by director Francis Legge. The video will feature, among other things, Gold going au naturale and showing, shall we say, a more feminine side of himself. The song is included on a new six-track maxi-single, available on iTunes. This beat-driven album honors Gold’s brand new “Visionary Award” presented to him last year by the LGBT Academy of Recording Arts (LARA), in recognition of his musical career, his achievements, and his everlasting support for the LGBT community and its fight for equality. “I like the idea of a remixed retrospective album because it at once pays respect to my past but keeps an ear toward the future. It’s kind of shocking to realize that 20 years had passed between the first wave of superstar acts like George Michael, Boy George and Elton John came out, and current acts like Adam Lambert and Ricky Martin,” says Gold. “I feel so honored to have been a proud voice in pop music during a time when we didn’t have enough.“ “I don’t know what gave me the strength to fight against a homophobic industry and be openly gay from the beginning of my career, but I do know that going out to the clubs, house music, and dancing, were always such a big part of my journey, and so this remix retrospective is a tribute to that.” “Play My F**kn Remix” is the official follow-up to the artist’s critically-acclaimed 2011 album, “Between the Spirit & the Flesh,” which spawned the controversial video “My Favorite Religion” and two No. 1 LOGO videos, making him artist with the most #1’s on the network. In 2010, Gold was also honored with an official knighthood by the Imperial Court of New York, one of the oldest civil rights organizations in existence. Play My F**kn Remix was produced by Gold, Steve Sola, and Jared Jones. For more information, visit Sir Ari Gold’s official website, www.arigold.com.
