Boy Untitled Releases EP & Book
Boy Untitled (Mark Tennyson) invites audiences to experience his five-part musical and visual epic with the release of his debut self-titled EP and accompanying illustrated book of poetry, A Wanderer’s Love Letter to the Universe. Having already received accolades for his distinct lane of purposeful, no-boundaries pop from outlets including Nylon and OUT! Magazine, Tennyson’s tale of heart-ache, transformation and rebirth comes full circle. Co-written by Rush Davis (Wolfgang Gartner, Kelly Rowland, Girl Unit), the EP’s soul-drenched lyrics and unctuous vocal dexterity take center stage over world-inspired records that jump from minimal, ethereal pop to vibrant electronica. Each chapter of his Love Letter, beautifully illustrated by Diego Eduardo, serves as your companion through its corresponding track on the EP, encouraging other wanderers to brave the first step toward positive change in their own lives.
“This body of work has been three years in the making. Both ‘A Wanderer’s Love Letter to the Universe’ and ‘Boy Untitled’ are deeply personal works that were birthed out of a huge shift in my life. Little did I know how much more there was to learn, experience and grow from during this process. This project became a prophetic source of guidance in a time of great uncertainty. From the joy of getting married to the sorrow of losing my father, this broad emotional arc is captured within the Boy Untitled experience. It wasn’t until his passing that the full vision of it came alive even to me. It summarizes a powerful experience of forgiveness and healing. One that I hope people are able to hear and take into their own lives.”
The release culminated in The Boy Untitled Experience: a multimedia event on July 12th, 2019 hosted by the Ace Hotel DTLA and sponsored by Revry, the world’s first all-queer streaming platform. The Experience celebrated the work of a global network of queer artists, allies and collaborators whose talent contributed to the project’s creation.
About the Book:
"A Wanderer's Love Letter to the Universe" is an illustrated book of poetry that chronicles five stages of emotional evolution. Tennyson's unique take on the "hero’s journey" follows his avatar, The Wanderer, through their cycle of stagnation, recognition, action, victory, and evolution, only to realize that this path is ongoing and never-ending. His hope is that these words may help others contextualize their own cycles of growth and metamorphosis, finding comfort, strength, and power in the life, death, and rebirth of themselves.
