Matt Maltese reflects on loss and how our internal worlds affect the ones around us, in typical hushed tones.
Matt Maltese’s new single Mother radiates a mellow ambience reflecting a cosy yet sombre and comforting winter evening. Overflowing with honest charm and a catchy hook, hopefully this is hinting at a new project for Maltese as listeners look forward to more of his hushed tones to soundtrack their heartbreak. The inventive nature of this song, in which Maltese states, "you always feel like you’re the main one hurting in a break-up, but relationships can form these webs that intertwine the people around you into them”, referring to the topic of his lyricism in comforting his mother at the loss of his ex-girlfriend. Underpinned by an irresistible melody and dreamy vocals saturated by vulnerability, accompanied by an anthemic chorus this really is some of my favourite of Maltese’s work. He continues to excel both vocally and with crisp, refined production. I am patiently waiting for what is coming next for him.
