Matt Maltese will release new album ‘Hers’ on May 16th.
The UK songwriter has completed work on his new album, Matt’s first to be fully self-produced since his second LP, ‘Krystal’.
His sixth album to date, ‘Hers’ finds the ever-creative lyricist leaning in on his more self-deprecating side, exploring different sides to masculinity. “I’ve said this before, but I do think the best work is where you allow yourself to look pathetic,” Maltese says in a press note. “The job is not to be the coolest guy, the job is to be vulnerable. On this record, I think I’ve done more of that.”
Alongside this, he’s settling into a long-term relationship – commitment is a prevailing trend on the record. “I’ve written a lot of music that comes from a place of infatuation, but this record was written on reflection of a much longer-term love. The complications and wonderful roads that that goes through and the more informed heartaches that come out of it. I got to really reflect and slave over it… It’s a bit like having a year to write a really important email,” he says.
New song ‘Always Some MF’ is out now – coy, acerbic, and witty, it’s vintage Matt Maltese.
Tune in now.
