Release Notes:
Toronto singer/songwriter Matthew Barber seemed
like a good breakout candidate a few years back,
but has been relatively quiet recently, perhaps
aging the mortar in anticipation of Ghost Notes,
his first new album in close to three years. The
album is fairly mature sounding and pretty darn
MOR-ish, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Barber's songwriting and arrangement skills seem to
have evolved, with elements of country, folk and
parlour balladry leaking their way into the mix.
The production is crystal clear and Barber's vocals
are put front and centre, whether playfully
rollicking through "(I'm Gonna) Settle My Accounts
With You" or patiently crooning through "Somebody
Sometime." Overall, this isn't really my cup of
tea, but I could totally see 20-something white
girls lapping this stuff up. Make of that what you
will.
