UK ARTIST MATT MALTESE LARGEST HEADLINE SHOWS IN AUS & NZ THIS NOVEMBER

“one of Britain’s most prolific young songwriters” – NME
“a joyride through balmy, jazz-pop soundwaves, making rest stops at socio-political references and grown-up Gen Z culture” – Clash
“He finds drama in the mundane” – MOJO

25-year-old UK singer/songwriter and global sensation Matt Maltese will be bringing his Songs That Aren’t Mine album to Australian & New Zealand shores this November for his largest shows to date.

For his fourth album, in order to look forward the musician finally let himself look back to the past. Reflecting on a sense of place, the meaning of where you grew up and the secret to being able to just enjoy the moment, ‘Driving Just To Drive’ finds Maltese at his most free.

Album cycles have long defined Maltese’s life – the 25-year-old’s growth can be mapped in tandem with his music, and it’s only with this record that the young man is finding peace between past and present, and slowly better become himself.

The lush, almost cinematic sound also comes from Maltese working with a producer for the first time in a while. It was only after thriving in a songwriting space, collaborating with Joy Crookes, Celeste, Etta Marcus and more, that Maltese better realised how he wanted to write for himself. “I’m bad at letting go to make someone else help me, but I’ve got better,” Maltese says. “Sharing those moments in real life with another person is just really nice. Josh hadn’t made an album before which I loved, and also working someone with my age ended up being really important.”

Coming off the back of a global tour and performing at some of the world’s biggest festivals including Lollapalooza, TRNSMT, Reading & Leeds Festival to name a few, Australia and New Zealand fans get ready to see this brand-new album performed live for the very first time!
