Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby is making his way to the UK after building on the success heās achieved in his native. A runner-up on the 2007 season ofĀ Australian IdolĀ the 22-year-old possesses a voice that belies his years. Heās currently on tour in the UK and has just released his new EPĀ Into The Flame.
Into The FlameĀ opens withĀ Brother,Ā a song that starts off deceptively quiet before breaking out into a falsetto-ridden gem of an acoustic indie number. As the song progresses Corby sings from his gut showcasing a growling deep tone to his voice that makes you take notice.
The EP shows Corbyās versatility over its 4 tracks. The gentle bluesy beat ofĀ UntitledĀ is the quietest moment on the record showcasing Corbyās gentler side whilst closerĀ Big EyesĀ is a hushed duet that gentle carries along on an acoustic melody. The best moment comes on the soulfulĀ Souls AāfireĀ which is driven along by electric guitar riffs whislt Corbyās vocal swoops and soars over the top.
Into The FlameĀ is a raw, passionate and refreshing set of 4 songs that marks a new talent on the rise. Matt Corby will be one to look out for in 2013 and we think itās going to be a big year for him. Oozing with talent and possessing a powerful voice, the world is his for the taking.
