November 10, 201113 yr To be fair to Matt, "Run for your life" has actually grown on me a lot since first hearing it. I'm a sucker for those kind of ballads when Christmas is around the corner, it's very "Take That-esque" ^_^ So I got the album and will give it a proper listen but so far it sounds very samey. What are the best tracks ?

What are the best tracks ? Starlight and Stars anf Lovers are probably my favourites, but the album is really good as a whole. RFYL is probably the weakest track there.

What are the best tracks ? My favourites are Letters and Pull Me Under - but pretty much love 'em all BUT it's a grower you have to listen to it a few times to all the songs to get under your skin. RFYL is definitely the worst song on the album and that seems to be pretty much universally accepted by fans
November 11, 201113 yr I saw him live last night at the Leeds Christmas Lights switch-on! He was alright actually, I never really liked him that much on The X Factor (although some of his performances were very good). He performed 'Stars & Lovers', 'Run for Your Life' and 'Starlight', with my highlight being the latter, and it is now my favourite from the album, so I do hope he can have some singles chart success with it.

RFYL is definitely the worst song on the album and that seems to be pretty much universally accepted by fans Not this one :P I think All For Nothing is the weakest on the album. RFYL is in my top 5 favourites. Walking On Water is my fave though, 83 plays on my iPod :lol:
November 13, 201113 yr Favourite on the album Letters (favourite live song as well) and Walking on Water. Least favourite Slowly and All for Nothing (which bores me for some reason) Kids like Amazing and Starlight. Hope Starlight does well. It is a great radio track, just hope radio stations see that.
November 14, 201113 yr RFYL is one of the best tracks there without question! There are a couple of weak ones, beat of a breaking heart, walking on water, probably slowly as well but overall its a good debut album. best tracks, stars and lovers, RYFL, letters, Pull me under
November 14, 201113 yr The least favorite for me is All For Nothing. Then the rest are amazing, but among so much amazingness, the weaker tracks would be Run For Your Life and Walking On Water. Still, wouldn't have it any other way <3
November 15, 201113 yr Letters has sold 125,512 to date. that's not bad at all - just needs to keep racking the sales up to xmas and over the tour and he'll do fine

Racked up 103 plays on my ipod :lol: Letters is probably the seond best album of the year for me :wub:
November 15, 201113 yr Lets hope he can get another 100k under his belt during Christmas. Hope he gets to do a second album.
November 16, 201113 yr Lets hope he can get another 100k under his belt during Christmas. Hope he gets to do a second album. I don't think there's any doubt he will make more albums - it's all he is interested in doing and he has a big enough following to allow that to happen. The only real question is whether he will stay with a major label or go independent. The signs are good that he'll be able to stay with Columbia but tbh there are advantages in taking another route so I'm not too concerned either way.

Well you are definately right about Columbia as im sure they look at Matt as being a success, with a number 2 album and a top 10 single its job done. If he was just with Syco, he would have to go platinum to guarantee a second album. Columbia should sanction a 2nd album tho, just hopes he brings out music quicker otherwise he will drop out of the publics awareness very fast as is the case with other artists historically. Hope he doesnt go independant. Leon Jackson went independant after getting dropped and where is he now..
December 16, 201113 yr 'Starlight' charted at #185. :o Was just about to post this. Should be 180 places higher :(
