Matt Maltese has announced his sixth studio album ‘Hers’, set for release on 16th May via The Orchard.
The London-based artist has also shared new single ‘Always Some MF’, the second track to be lifted from the record following ‘Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow’. The new release arrives alongside a music video directed by Prasanna Puwanarajah, featuring actor Nadia Parkes and choreographer/actor Ira Mandela Siobhan.
“I’ve written a lot of music that comes from a place of infatuation, but this record was written on reflection of a much longer-term love. The complications and wonderful roads that that goes through and the more informed heartaches that come out of it. I got to really reflect and slave over it… It’s a bit like having a year to write a really important email,” Maltese says.
“I’m British enough to feel a slight shame of writing so many love songs in the past,” he adds. “Maybe the more interesting thing on paper would have been to go to the other side of the world and write a concept album about prehistoric creatures or something, but at the end of the day, we’re all human, and love and people are things we’re all continually affected by. It’s my job as a songwriter to excavate the things in my life, and that’s what I was going through.”
The album follows Maltese’s 2023 release ‘Driving Just To Drive’ and his covers collection ‘Songs That Aren’t Mine’.
