Matt Corby – Into the Flames EP review

Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby is making his way to the UK after building on the success heā€™s 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. Heā€™s 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 Corbyā€™s versatility over its 4 tracks. The gentle bluesy beat ofĀ UntitledĀ is the quietest moment on the record showcasing Corbyā€™s 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 Aā€™fireĀ which is driven along by electric guitar riffs whislt Corbyā€™s 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 itā€™s going to be a big year for him. Oozing with talent and possessing a powerful voice, the world is his for the taking.
