Local pop star Matt Gardiner has never been afraid to push boundaries when it comes to his music. While we’ve seen the star release some pop bops over the past few years, the singer was inspired to throw in some country elements on his new single ‘Brown Hair, Brown Eyes’ – and we’re here for it!
The love song shows off a different side to Matt’s artistry while telling a personal story in the process. “A few years ago, a very special person in my life came back from the USA. All I got to listen to in the car for ages was country music. It drew me in and I fell in love with the genre,” Matt says.
He adds “This song is pretty much an ode to her, and all of the amazing things about her. This girl that I love is wild at heart, and so fiercely her that it’s inspiring. She’s literally the life of the party, she’s my living ray of sunshine, and of course she has brown hair and brown eyes.”
The song came about one day when Matt was driving in his car. He couldn’t get the phrase brown hair, brown eyes out of his head. When he arrived home he recorded the sample version of the track within an hour. “It flowed so quickly, and everything just fit together,” the singer explains.
Matt took his idea to his good friend and producer Bryn Scott and ‘Brown Hair, Brown Eyes’ was brought to life. “I’m hoping that this song is viewed the way that I see it. I want people to think about the person they love when they hear the song,” Matt continues. “This song is very real and has a very special place in my heart. It speaks the truth about my feelings, and it gives me a way to express exactly how amazing this girl is.”
