‘Need It Most’ by Matthew Read: Making Light During the Darkest times

Artist: Matthew Read Single: Need It Most Genre: Folk Pop, Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter Release Date: April 17th, 2024

Matthew Read's single, "Need It Most," emerges as a deeply personal and introspective offering from the artist. Read’s upcoming EP was a form of therapy for him amidst challenging times. Having returned from living in China, he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and Read underwent treatment during lockdown. He found solace and expression through his music by channeling his experiences into poignant tracks that resonates with sincerity. This track comes from his upcoming EP.

With Jose Ibanez on guitar, Mark Rice on drums, and Read himself on guitar and vocals, the trio delivers a composition that reflects their influences, drawing inspiration from the likes of Gregory Alan Isakov, Jack Johnson, and The Beatles. This album would sit right at home on a warm beach in the evening. Recorded at Third Planet Recording Studios in Liverpool, the single boasts impeccable audio engineering, resulting in a crisp, clean listening experience.

"Need It Most" delves into themes of self-care and compassion, inspired by someone close to Read whom he wished would prioritize their own well-being as much as they do for others. Read captures the essence of his message with clarity and authenticity.

The track stands as a testament to the power of music as a means of healing and connection. With its easy-listening vibe and genuine lyrical content, this single not only serves as a personal reflection for Read but also offers solace and resonance to listeners navigating their own journeys of self-discovery and self-care.
