I listen to everything and beyond from rock to pop, to funky soul, spanish , persian, r.n.b to Indie folk (singer/ songwriter).
For a couple of years the one person who has really touched me and my soul through his music has been John Mayer. I have experienced his lyrics and guitar playing as divine, until his last album which didn't quite "woo" me, maybe just 1 or 2 songs.
Before him, I was really into soul and r.n.b music, mostly listened to John Legend, Alicia Keys, Musiq Souldchild and etc
John Mayer made me discover more and more singer/songwriters throughout the years, and it has come to my realization that this type of music touches me and gives me that soul touching feeling that I really can't explain. I can maybe say that it feels like a kind of pure and "real" music.
The artists that are giving me this type of feeling are, Josua Radin, William Fitzsimmons, Ray Lamountagne, David Gray, James Blake, Bon Iver, Damien Rice, Ed Sheeran, James Vincent McMorrow and many many more, I just mentioned a few of them.
For the last year and a half I've been listening to a lot of Mumford & Sons because I felt like I really could relate to their lyrics.
They gave me that "wraahh" feeling but in a good way in my own opinion :)
With all this said, I want to tell you about this young man I discovered last fall, he first became noticed when he auditioned for the australian idol, then he disappeared for a couple of years and came back with a new look and his own music. This young man gives me that feeling which I get from listening to John Mayer that type of divine and raw feeling, the name of this man is Matt Corby.
The first song I heard with him was Brother acoustic version, and it blew me away, so I started to go through his music on youtube and the songs that really caught my attention were Made of Stone and Lonley Boy.
My other favorite songs with Matt are Untitled , Soul's a fire, Breathe, My false and Big Eyes.
Luckily a couple of weeks after I discovered him, I found out he was on a European tour and in a little town 20 min from where I live.
I just had to go his show, after the show I was speechless and blown away, his performance live is out of this world, unexplainably beautiful.
I can sum it up by saying; It was a fabulous musical experience.
3 days ago he released one of his new songs called Resolution.
Enjoy :)
