Soulful homegrown singer and songwriter Matt Corby has just released a new single titled Monday, with a national tour on the cards in support.
The first new material from the ARIA winner since 2014’s What The Devil Has Made, Monday hints at what we can expect from the dreamy eyed surfer babe’s debut album due in 2016.
Following on from the success of his last two singles Brother and Resolution, Monday has a lot to live up to. Exploring more soulful territory, with the influence of Sam Cooke clear and present, it is a bit of a change from the troubadour’s more folk influenced earlier work – an exciting shift that has come out of Corby’s almost two year hiatus honing his craft and sound.
“It has been about two years since I released any music – I guess I needed to spend that time learning how to practically play, on each instrument, what I would regularly hear in my head. Enough time has now passed now for me to clear my head of everything that I’ve done before, reboot and have the balls to do it again.”
That was time enough it would seem as hot on the heels of the single’s release (within the same press release no less) Corby has announced a national tour, hitting the road for the first time since 2013. With band in tow and a swag of new songs, fans can expect to hear lot of new material as well as plenty of favourites selected from his previous four EPs.
Tickets for the November tour go on sale Friday, October 2nd at 9am at Matt’s website, check out the new single here, with full details listed below.
