Matthew Young – “Loveblind”
We are excited to share our first new find of the year! These tracks have been floating around soundcloud for about a month now and we have just stumbled onto them. It is a series of four singles coming from mysterious new talent Matthew Young. His style of pop is dark, moody, romantic, dreamy and tinged with house and R&B flourishes. He joins the ranks of neo pop artists that are blurring genres and creating something entirely fresh and very much needed. From the artwork to the names to the sounds, he definitely has something special going on and we are entranced.
“Bend” is a slinky, synth led ode to a special someone. The sex appeal lies in the language and the vocals that are drenched in R&B bliss. “Knock” incorporates a dark and brooding melody juxtaposed by his ethereal and breathy vocals. “Loveblind” is a cosmic synth dream with beautiful lyrics, vocals and minimal bass. And finally we have “Lean Close” with a stop-and-go rhythm that will have you weak at the knees. He is definitely one-to-watch this year. And all four are up for grabs for free so get on it folks!
