Words: Sam Geary
The new single from future soul singer-songwriter Matt Woods, 'Rearview', is a typically smooth and dreamy concoction as befits the London-based Cornishman's trademark style.
The song, released last week, is the first to come from Woods’ forthcoming EP, the provisionally titled 'Fauxstalgia', built around "this idea that as you put more and more distance between you and somebody else they appear smaller and smaller, but no matter how far you drive away from them, they never fully disappear,” explains Woods, who decided to document a saga of chance meetings across the globe (Cuba, Germany, Spain, at home in the UK) with a love interest that led to a whirlwind relationship, doomed from the beginning from their impending distance they would put between each other from travelling.
A subtle blend of electro-synth with an R&B fusion, 'Rearview' is led by Woods' arresting vocal delivery that is both evocative and emotive.
