In October 2015, the award winning artist Matt Anderson once again de-camped from his New Brunswick, Canada home to record his new album Honest Man.
Produced in New York with Commissioner Gordon (Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, KRS-One), Honest Man will follow up the Juno Award-nominated Weightless (read my article on that album) and reportedly sees the songwriter pushing himself into new territory.
‘Gordon has worked with so many different people, like Santana and Quincy Jones, on so many historic albums’ says Andersen. ‘He has such a great approach and was able to tie-in so many new ideas to what I’ve done in the past without losing touch with my sound’.
A clip of one of the tracks from the new album “Let’s Get Back” has been released. ‘It is a call out to Canadians to take back our identity’ said Matt of the song. ‘That can mean a lot of different things to different people. The root of it all is that we can proudly say that we are Canadian, and knowing that means we are the open, caring, and respected nation we can be.’
