the comparisons to jeff buckley will be plentiful, but there are worse things for a debut singer songwriter from wolverhampton to called these days. scott matthews is the most recent of talented male artists that seem to be popping out of the uk this year (paolo nutini and james morrison being the other two), but can you claim to have a world renowned tabla artist as the musical thread of your debut album? scott does.
after independently releasing his album passing stranger in early 06, a label bidding war (in which island records won) has allowed scott to be repackaged and re-released with bigger fanfare this season (hey it made my blip!).
hopefully it'll make yours. check out two of his videos below:
scott matthews - elusive
[if jose gonzales actually wrote interesting self-penned music, channeling the spirit of jeff buckley, then this would be the end result. though that sounds like a dis, i really really love this song!]
scott matthews - dream song
[the new single and video, radio 1 seems to be on the bandwagon (currently on their c-list), so hopefully it'll be a good boost.]
want more? here's scott doing a live performance of sweet scented figure
