Matchbox Twenty |
Rockers Matchbox Twenty has announced the release of their
hugely-anticipated new album, North, scheduled to arrive on 4 September. North
marks Matchbox Twenty’s fourth full-length studio recording and first all-new
album in a decade. “The title refers to us finding our way,” says Matchbox
Twenty’s Paul Doucette. “We went into
this record with a lot of material. Many different songs that could have taken
us in many different directions. It sort
of overwhelmed us for a bit. But, at a certain point, we figured it out. We
figured out where North was.” The
album’s electrifying first single, “She’s So Mean,” is slated to be unveiled in
June. The new CD sees Matchbox Twenty driving their pop-rock sound further
forward; magnifying the indelible melodies, crafty lyricism, and glorious hooks
that have always defined their multi-platinum body of work. The band, Rob
Thomas, Paul Doucette, Kyle Cook and Brian Yale, lived together last Summer
in a house in Nashville where they all
collaborated on the new material before once again joining forces with the
Grammy Award-winning producer Matt Serletic at his Emblem Studios in Calabasas,
California. The result of their labors
stands among Matchbox Twenty’s finest, with songs like “Overjoyed” and “Put
Your Hands Up” marked by the band’s instantly identifiable sonic approach and
unadulterated high spirits.
