Watch Matt Hill's "Million Words" Video Here

Matt Hill has just released his brand new single "Million Words," a track taken off his forthcoming new album "Masterpice."  Hill grew up in a musically inclined family.  His own musical education came through the London gospel scene and, like many notable artists, playing in church. Over the years he has met, and played with, some of the world's most incredible musicians. 

Matt Hill's own style holds together both a love for spontaneity and a respect for the song. This comes together beautifully on his highly anticipated first solo record 'Masterpiece'.With the velvet tones of blues guitar and the pocket grooves of 90s funk, the quality of musicianship shines through. However, this is no jam session. Here is the worked of a skilled craftsman. The arrangements are restrained-producing an incredibly mature sounding debut. The lyrics are evocative and emotive-inviting us to reflect and even participate.  

"I wanted to strip things back and create space in the music. Space to breathe, space to explore, space to listen. So we recorded it live in a big room as a three piece. Myself, Jimmi Clarke (Bass, Il Divo) and Jonathan 'Ginger' Hamilton (Drums, Jessie J)." says Hill, "It is a mammoth task to tell a whole story in so few words, but that very challenge is what I love. I think there is great power in songs that tell an open and vulnerable story - the frailty of humanity compared to the vast mysteries of eternity. But there is also something of beauty in singing about something greater than ourselves. Songs of faith, hope and love. Eternal themes."
