Mate – Myself
Mate - Myself
Release Date: Out Now
So, Mate is the solo project of
one Eddie Brett who is, I’m told by his PR, one third of Britain’s Got Talent
finalists Loveable Rogues. I have no idea who Loveable Rogues are so I don’t
know if this is a massive departure but I can’t imagine Simon Cowell getting a
money-based chub on for this so that’s a strong start in my book. ‘Myself’ is
the new release from Mate and it starts with a chilled melody and beat followed
by Brett’s Mike Skinner-esque rapping full of regret and remorse for what
happened the night before. “I got a bit loose with the contactless”, “I’ve
completely lost sight of what makes me feel nice” and “how can anyone love me
when I can’t love myself?”, “I just wanna get a dog and put my feet up by the
fire” are just a few selected lyrics as Mate explores the idea of sliding in to
middle age and what that means for a man more attuned to living it large, night
after night. There’s a nice video to go alongside this one featuring Ewen
MacIntosh playing the role of the disillusioned man wrestling with his inner
demons and feeding the ducks.
