Matt Walters Makes Me Swoon

You might remember me gushing about Melbourne lad Matt Walters last year. Now with the release of his latest song, this singer-songwriter is back on my radar.

“Die For You” is the first single to come from Matt’s new EP, Talking in my Sleep. This lush and beautiful song features the lovely Washington on backing vocals, and is the perfect chill-out track for this grey wintery weather we’ve been enjoying. Right-click the link to download this gorgeous song!

Matt is currently putting the finishing touches on his debut album with acclaimed producers Paul McKercher (Augie March, Josh Pyke, Sarah Blasko) and Francois Tetaz (Lior, Gotye). We can expect to see it in stores early next year. If that seems too long to wait to enjoy this incredible talent, you can catch him in the flesh at The Workers Club in Fitzroy on August 25.
