Matt Emery – Empire

| Matt Emery - Empire |
Release Date: Out Now
I’m getting increasingly
encouraged and inspired by the number of composers coming my way as opposed to
singer-songwriters and Matt Emery is the latest to soothe my troubled soul with
his mastery of the piano. The latest track, ‘Empire’, is built around a
relatively simple and repetitive piano riff that moves with the slow and
meaningful solemnity of a funeral march until the strings join in to make this
swell in to something so utterly cleansing and beautiful that I don’t mind
admitting it brought a tear to my eye on first listen. I can be a morbid and
music obsessed beast at the best of times so I often consider my own funeral
playlist and this tune has just put itself in strong contention which is meant
as a very high complement. I urge you to clear your mind and put aside 4
minutes to listen to this, really listen to it’s simple beauty and ascending
mood – do this without thinking of a lost love one or your own mortality and
you’re doing well. Do it without breathing a little heavier or wiping the
moistness from your eye and you’re emotionally stunted. Don’t listen to it at sunrise though, your
heart might just burst and I won’t be held responsible.
