Brian Falduto is gearing up for the release of his upcoming album Gay Country (Deluxe Edition), and he’s giving fans and music lovers worldwide a taste of what’s to come with stunning, reimagined version of his single “Skip The Step.”
Teaming up with talented band Presidio, Brian unveils the collaborative masterpiece he’s been working on by giving Celeb Secrets readers an exclusive first listen of “Skip The Step (Alternate Version)” today (May 10). Best described as a poignant exploration of navigating heartbreak, the new release gives the heartfelt anthem new life while still reminding the listener that tears are not just a step to be skipped, but a crucial part of the healing process.
“Working with Presidio was exciting and I love this new version of the song,” Brian shares with Celeb Secrets in an exclusive statement.
Musically, “Skip The Step (Alternate Version)” is a masterpiece of simplicity, with acoustic guitar and vocals that intertwine in perfect harmony. It’s a testament to Falduto’s artistry that he can evoke such powerful emotions with minimalistic instrumentation, allowing the beauty of his message to shine through. In a world where authenticity is often overshadowed by bravado, the track is a gentle reminder to honor our emotions and allow ourselves to feel deeply. It’s a song that invites listeners to lean into the discomfort of heartache, knowing that true healing lies on the other side.
For those who don’t know, Falduto first came onto the scene when he played the role of Fancy Pants in Jack Black’s cult classic School of Rock. The intense focus on the effeminate mannerisms he displayed as an adolescent would have a major impact on his coming to terms with his sexuality as a teen and young adult. After coming into his own, Brian released an essay about his sexual awakening in The Advocate and now travels the country performing and speaking at Pride events, sharing himself vulnerably and offering hope to people in the early stages of their coming out.
On the music side, Brian made his debut in the world of country music last year with his track “Same Old Country Love Song.” It was greeted with a flood of positive encouragement and excitement and would become and LGBTQ+ country anthem. With a deluxe version of his project arriving on June 7th, the future is looking bright for the budding country star.
