Matt Maltese
Smooth and understated, South London-based singer-songwriter Matt Maltese is recognized as a key figure in schmaltzcore, a "new wave of crooners bringing soft-pop to adoring adolescent fans" according to NME.
Maltese is best known for his wry modern ballads, particularly for his breakout hit “Even If It’s a Lie,” a poignant song about unrequited love, and his most-streamed track, “As the World Caves In,” an apocalyptic love song. His lyrics explore themes such as politics, love, and daily life in a straightforward lyrical style accompanied by matching instrumentals. Transitioning from grandiose melodies in his early singles to sharp, witty self-reflection in his debut album, Bad Contestant, and then to a sensitive, insightful dialogue in “Krystal,” Matt Maltese’s music continually evolves with the singer’s life and current circumstances.
