“And those who were seen dancing with thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music”…. Friedrich Nietzsche

Undeniable epiphany and insatiable anthemic masterpiece by the irresistible composer, film score legend, and producer Randy Edelman, “Comin’ Out The Other Side” was unveiled on July 2, 2021 via Tribeca Records, a SohoJohnny Enterprise, and is available for the wider world to sing-a-long and celebrate. Undoubtedly irresistible to the gates of the soul, “Comin’ Out The Other Side” is an emotional contagion spreading an epidemic of happiness, fun and a long awaited freedom from being sequestered and isolated.
