River Matthews, is an artist for whom the stars seem to have aligned since the days of playing cover songs in local pubs. A career as a musical therapy teacher, and no small amount of heartbreak. The conclusion of all this work and stunning music, is River’s debut album Imogen. Now established as one of the UK’s most distinctive and soulful vocals performers, this is the body of work that will ensure his place as one of the most talented songwriters on the scene today. The release ebbs and flows from soulful, intimate performances such as ‘Pretty Things’ and ‘Stars’, to fuller productions such as the spine-tinglingly beautiful ‘Fool For You’. There’s a truly distinguished quality to the whole album, fusing elements of Folk, Americana, Songwriter-Pop and Soul to create a body of work that’s vintage, yet contemporary. We’re very excited to be able to share this record with you ahead of it’s release on February 16. Dig in below:
