With superb backing band including Stef Kamil Carlens, Bjorn Eriksson …

American singer-songwriter Matt Watts has been living in Belgium for a few years now. After his acclaimed solo album ‘Songs From a Window’ (‘14), he released ‘How Different It Was When You Were There’ in 2017. It was instantly crowned with a **** review by De Standaard. Whereas the predecessor was a true solo album, latest release ‘Queens’ is coloured in by beautiful people like Nathalie Delcroix, Bjorn Eriksson, Nicolas Rombouts and Stef Kamil Carlens. Comparisons with Nick Drake and The Tallest Man On Earth are just waiting for them.

In the press

‘Watts zingt zijn persoonlijke, poëtische teksten met een hoge, fluisterende stem die meteen aan Nick Drake doet denken.’ **** (De Standaard over ‘How Different It Was…’)

Fun fact

Those who know their jazz history well, will recognise in the press photo a persiflage of the cover of Charlie Hadens album ‘Liberation Music Orchestra’ (from 1970 on Impulse! Records)
