about

Root Records is excited to present - ‘Believe in Things’ by Matt Wilde.

--

'Believe in Things' is centred around the piano, exploring textures and colours which depict the beauty in simple things and the relationship between earth, nature and space. Born out of the challenges society has faced as a result of Covid-19, 'Believe in Things' is a real-time documentation of the hope, discovery and uncertainty experienced this year. The improvised piano tells a story of believing in the unimaginable and unearthing the extraordinary. The songs portray a sense of determination and optimism for a better future.

‘Awkward’, the debut single from the project, as its name suggests, was created in a way that captures the awkward interactions of society and searches for solutions – described by Matt himself as “hopeful, pensive & forward-looking”. The track benefits from catchy melodies, analogue synths and the smooth trumpet and flugelhorn of Aaron Wood.

“Growing up in Manchester, I was surrounded by MCs, rappers and musicians who were writing, recording and performing hip hop and grime. I began producing and making beats and DJ’ed in multiple clubs across the UK including having a residency at the legendary Sankeys in Manchester. I was enveloped by loads of different cultures which all fed into the music I was making. Producing unlocked my obsession with keys and I began exploring the works of jazz greats such as Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock and Ahmad Jamal. My early musical experiences and exploration of jazz have blended and laid the foundations of my sound today, which is portrayed in my debut EP Believe in Things.”
