online, censorship issues kept the video from airing on TV. "You can only bleep out so many words from a song before the entire impact is lost. The video was supposed to be an LGBT take on a stereotypical hip-hop video. I truly believe that if it were a heterosexual rap video it would've been played in heavy rotation." SIRPAUL's music was licensed by noted design house Giorgio Armani for various campaigns, including their Giorgio Armani Show Online website. On June 1, 2010, SIRPAUL released Music & Me. For this album, SIRPAUL adopted the "Not Equal" symbol as his icon. The concept was developed with childhood friend, longtime collaborator, and renowned lifestyle designer Anthony Passarelli. The album release coincided with a sold-out CD Release Show at the Triad Theater in Manhattan and an appearance on the Red Carpet at the 2010 Logo NewNowNext Awards in Los Angeles. When asked about the album, he said "I feel like this album is like a shattered mirror image of me. All these songs are fragments that reflect different aspects of my personality and I always bare my soul through my music." Music & Me scored positive reviews, including favorable comparisons to Lady Gaga from That's My Jam Radio and references to George Michael, Fischerspooner and Nine Inch Nails from ElectroQueer. Plans are in the works to extend the tour and the first scheduled music video to be produced will be for the lead single Music & Me. The video for "Colors" (a combination live concert/previous work montage video Directed by Andreas Anastasis) is said to be released in 2011. Music producer SIRPAUL is the President/CEO and Co-founder of Controversial Records, has written over 350 songs and has remixed others for artists like Britney Spears, La Roux, Sacha Sacket and The Inertia Kiss.
