Matt Maltese has shared a new single, ‘Pined For You My Whole Life’

Matt Maltese has shared a new single ‘Pined For You My Whole Life’ and details of an extensive world tour.

The new track follows previous singles ‘Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow’ and ‘Always Some MF’ from forthcoming record ‘Hers’, which will arrive on 16th May via The Orchard.

‘Hers’ marks Maltese’s first fully self-produced effort since his second album ‘Krystal’, featuring eleven tracks that explore the complexities of a long-term relationship and its conclusion.

“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 explains.

Speaking about the new single, he adds: “Potentially the most amount of yearning I’ve done in a song. Which is saying something. Musically the song was a true joy to make, and is heavily inspired by all the Motown and soul I was grown up with. I’m not ashamed to say I get a lot of joy out of writing boldly pathetic declarations of love through the veil of American-leaning soul music.”
