Mo Troper Shares New Single 'In Love With Everyone'December 11, 2019Mo Troper is returning with his 3rd album on Portland's Tender Loving Empire on February 14th and has shared the newest single today, “In Love With Everyone”. The new song, clocking in at just over two minutes, is about the pernicious aspects of scattershot love and maybe even missing out on something, or someone, because you're just too enamored with everyone else. Troper details the true-life story behind the song saying it is “about a date I went on with someone that I thought about every day for four years. They sang a Four Seasons song at a karaoke bar in Portland called Chopsticks and I fell in love with them. It didn't turn into anything then because I was also in love with everyone else. (Though not nearly as much.)” The new singles continues to highlight the mature, but not too mature, full sound of Mo's new album and new songs replete with horns, synths, video game bloops and everything you could want from an adorable, maybe kind of sad, power-pop tune. To even further put his money where his mouth is, both in terms of his nerdy obsession with video games and love of music Mo Toper opened a new all-ages venue/video game/record store in his home of Portland this Monday. In a world of shuttered venues and the slow death of record stores, his choice speaks to his tenacity and love. It's pretty sweet.
