NEW MUSIC: MATT TAYLOR | APRIL 13TH

Originally from Dublin, Ireland Matt Taylor is an Indie Pop artist with mesmerizing songwriting, inspired by artists such as Taylor Swift and Lorde. The previously released single "Godspeed" was described by Clash Magazine as ‘music that feels as though it has been beamed in from the future. Following the release of "no matter what I say" Taylor’s third single just this year, comes the gripping and heartbreaking "April 13th." Delicate fingerstyle acoustic guitar accompanies Taylor’s raw vocals as he exposes the truth of his ex-lover's intentions, calling him out for not being honest. It is almost unquestionable that some of us have found ourselves in similar circumstances as Taylor. Young and in love, almost blind to the fact that someone is not reciprocating the intensity of our feelings. But all of a sudden, we open our eyes and come to the realization that there’s something that does not fit, and you finally come to terms with the fact that you’re not the priority for the other person (and maybe haven’t been for a while). In a poetically beautiful confrontational discourse, With a beyond dreamy production full of bedroom synths and colliding electronically enhanced harmonies, the piece sets a cinematic coming-of-age scene that perfectly fits the lyrics of the song. There’s definitely a hint of Troye Sivan, Holly Humberstone, and Conan Gray, which are admittedly some of Taylor’s influences. However, he does not mimic or copy these artists, as his signature sound is very much present in the whole production and crafting of the song.
