Byron Lee Scott says, “During Covid, I bought a travel trailer, set up a studio inside it, and learned to live off grid on propane and solar power. I stayed in remote areas of Arizona and California, and finally, in Nevada, where the album was mastered at The Hideout Studios in Las Vegas.”

“Spinning Round The Sun” is a mesmerizing, synth-heavy pop song that celebrates the wonder of life on Earth and the love the earth receives from the Sun. As part of a larger trilogy, the song serves as the first part of a larger story that explores the connections between space, love, and the human experience. The second part, “Loving The Sun,” offers a more cinematic interpretation of the theme, while part 3, “Solar Rays” presents an electronic dance instrumental version.

“The Sun is blazing through space at about 500,000 miles per hour, and the Earth follows in a spiral path at the perfect distance. I think it’s miraculous!” exclaims Scott. “It’s wondrous and humbling when you become aware of the vast universe. It’s a feeling there is something much bigger than ourselves.”
