about

Following 2019's debut album, In The World, Matthew returns with his second album, Be My Lover.

The 11 tracks that make up Be My Lover showcase the range of Matthew's songwriting, from the country-esque Back Where I Started, the folky Credits, the pastoral Winter On Watership Down, to the classic pop of Be My Lover and The Man, and the devastating ballad Like You Like That.

Be My Lover is another exceptional collection of songs, containing a consistency of songwriting and a bounty of hooks that would put any celebrated songwriter to shame. On top of this we have the privilege of getting to glimpse the world through Matthew's unique viewpoint.

The thread that runs through all of the songs is Matthew's innate sense of pop music, with every song having multiple hooks that will imbed themselves after the first listen or two, due in no small part to Matthew's encyclopaedic knowledge of modern pop music. As with all the best albums, a listener's favourite track will change from week to week.
The songs almost always arrive fully formed, Matthew having a clear idea of every aspect of the music.

The realisation of these recordings was overseen by Jonathan Hering (Ex-Easter Island Head, The Aleph), and engineered by Andrew PM Hunt (Dialect, ex-Outift).

Matthew's debut single, Bell's Gone for the Bell, was a Top 3 finalist in the 2019 National Youth Music Awards Original Song category, sponsored by TikTok. Subsequent assistance from Youth Music contributed to the recording of Be My Lover.
