Matthew Mole
Run (Just Music)
Breakdown: Matthew Mole blew me away with his debut album ‘The Home We Built’ and after a short hiatus, the singer was back in the studio working on his follow-up album. Now, the star has dropped his second studio album ‘Run’ which features the hit single ‘Run’ and the new single ‘Holding On’.
How Many Good Tracks: 11 of the 12. (The intro is pointless)
What I Liked: Matthew Mole is a brilliant storyteller and does so beautifully through song. The singer pours his heart and soul into his music which really helps the listener relate to his journey and his experiences. The passion in which he sings also adds a beautiful dynamic to his music and makes him stand out from the crowd. The singer wrote a song for both his wife and parents on the album. Both tracks are so beautiful and I really respect him for honouring his loved ones on the album. Musically, Matthew has mastered the indie pop genre. The songs have depth but are constructed with the intention of being pop tracks and it’s this blend that has made Matthew so successful. After his incredible vocal performance on his debut album, the singer does an even better job this time around. Matthew is a fantastic artist and ‘Run’ will be one of the defining moments of his career. This is a spectacular record.
What I Didn’t Like: Matthew has a brilliant voice but has used excessive vocal filtration on some of the tracks which, honestly, I think would be better without. Other than that, I cannot fault this album.
Best Track: Run
Rating: 5/5
