Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with Madstone Rowan\xa0AKA\xa0Tripping Jupiter to talk about their new hit single, Torn America!\xa0

The song\u2019s compelling message and music video edits together footage from the past 2 years of protests across the country, channelling the rage and frustration of that moment of upheaval into an uplifting celebration of love and solidarity across different political movements. From\xa0Black Lives Matter, to\xa0LGBTQ+\xa0rights, to the growing climate crisis.\xa0But unlike other \u201cprotest songs\u201d - which often can come with a ham-fisted sense of self-importance\xa0or condescension -\xa0\u201cTorn America\u201d\xa0was created with a goal to\xa0\u201cnot be preachy or tell\xa0anyone what to think or to believe\u201d;\xa0instead using the song and video to describe what so many of us are experiencing and rally that collective frustration into purposeful action.

The face of\xa0Tripping Jupiter\xa0is that of\xa0Madstone Rowan\xa0(he/they/them), a vocalist, keyboardist, and songwriter based in New York City who is seamlessly two parts groove, one part empowerment, plus just a spritz of glitter.\xa0 With a style that blends classic glam rock and pop with modern production, the music of\xa0Tripping Jupiter\xa0is both timely and timeless. Madstone embraces the identity and expression behind the look, the sound and the social voice of the band - a transcendent view of art and of music created and presented without societal restrictions or self-imposed limits.\xa0 The result is barrier-free freedom presented within the sonics and visuals of modern rock and retro-pop sensibilities.\xa0 Madstone, who describes personal identity as \u201cbeyond the binary,\u201d explains: \u201cfor us, music and life should have no limits.\u201d
