The soulful voice of Mathew Gold is back. The singer recently signed with Universal Music South Africa and has blessed us with an incredibly romantic comeback single which is bound to make Valentine’s Day that much more special. ‘Lay Down’ serves as the lead single off his highly anticipated second studio album which is due out later this year and it’s the perfect taste of what’s to come.
The mid-tempo jam has a deep urban beat and is beautifully paired with Mathew’s silky smooth vocals. Lyrically, Mathew sings about finding the one who “eases the pain” in him. Love is a common topic in Mathew’s songs and with a voice like that, we know why. He hits the high notes effortlessly yet is delicate with the notes that need to be sung gently and it’s that attention to detail that makes him stand out from the crowd.
We’re so glad Mathew has shaken things up with a bit of a new spin on his old-school sound. Not only does it show us a new side to the singer, but it also makes us very excited to see what else he has been cooking up in studio. If you need to spruce up your Valentine’s Day playlist, remember to head over to iTunes today and download this beauty. We adore this song, Mr Gold. Well done!
