After accumulating a wealth of big stage experience in George Ezra’s live band, Matt Benson’s solo career is now gaining pace following his first singles ‘Sit Back Down Again’, ‘Strangers And Angels’ and ‘The Way It Should Be’. After earning a first flurry of acclaim and a key playlist feature on Spotify’s Jazz UK, he now takes the next step towards his debut album with the new single ‘Broken Masterpiece’. The ‘Sit Back Down Again’ record then follows on July 11th.
While ‘Broken Masterpiece’ exudes the exemplary musicianship and sleek, soulful vocal class that has embodied Matt’s releases so far, it also takes on a far different ambience. Its haunting, lurching menace feels a little like a cousin to the darkness of Nick Cave’s ‘Henry’s Dream’ album. But Matt’s song comes at that mood from a different angle as he paints a picture that leans into the fantastical world of the creature feature.
