Following the announcement of his forthcoming album POPS, Canadian songwriter and artist Matthew Tavares, aka Matty, formerly of BadBadNotGood, returns with a new double single release Madly / Around the World
Madly possesses an understated charm, exuding a feel-good, summery warmth that instantly pulls you in. The hypnotic energy from the drums and the smooth chord progression combine to propel the song forward. This dreamy indie pop track features Matty’s laconic vocals blending with the instrumentation, it all feels a bit flirty and carefree. There’s also a retro-inspired 60’s-style breezy chorus that rounds it all off rather nicely. I wouldn’t be surprised if this little number becomes a soundtrack of the summer.
Madly / Around the World sees Matty zeroing in on love and all its complexities; the theme is a driving force of throughout the upcoming album. This material sees Matty head into a new direction.
The evocative video to Madly comes with animations by Lavoe.
