Australian songwriter and producer Matt Corby shares genre-blending new single ahead of forthcoming album and a UK/EU Tour
โEverythingโs Fineโ is Matt Corbyโs first album in five years. In that time, in addition to being unable to tour, his house was flooded and he was forced to balance familial responsibilities with creativity. In other words, it hasnโt been an easy time for him.
Listening to โBig Smokeโ, you would have no idea. The track is a confident blend of psychedelia and jazz that slinks through its runtime effortlessly with style and grace.
At first, you may be fooled into thinking youโre listening to yet another Tame Impala clone, with the reverbed vocals and drums. Yet when the strings begin soaring, you realise this is something much more special. Halfway through the track, the instrumentation is simplified, with jazzy piano chords leading the backing.
Throughout the track, Corbyโs vocals are incredible. He sings with passion, ease and confidence, while never showing off or drowning out the gorgeous instrumentation. It is the combination of this voice, the lush backing and the wonderfully cinematic production that makes this track so unique.
As well as this single, Matt Corby has also announced he is visiting the UK and EU for a huge headline tour.
โBig Smokeโ is out now. New album โEverythingโs Fineโ is out on 24th March via Communion.
