EMBERS, the latest album by Matt Mead is a shining introduction to an artist whose music has recently been compared to Rob Thomas, Don Henley and the Counting Crows. With honest reviews like “Jaunty, Lively, Catchy and Memorable slices of life …easily fitting in amongst the greats and legends” EMBERS highlights a mixture of energetic rock, contemporary pop and shimmering ballads that are identifiably unique to Matt Mead and undeniably catchy no matter what genre of music it fits into.

EMBERS nine songs and thirty-eight minutes highlight Mead’s natural gifts of observation and imagery that continue to shine at the forefront of his music and resonate with listeners all over the globe. Highlighted tracks like "Delia's Song", “Leave the Light on” and "See it from the Street" are good examples of brilliant music that has the potential to stand the test of time.

"Fans of artists like Marc Cohn, James Taylor, and Josh Kelley will find much to enjoy when listening to the nine tracks on Embers.

Matt Mead has a keen eye for detail and the ability to aptly capture little moments and nuances in his verses. Mead doesn’t quite “rock”; his lyrics and music flow gently, skipping over a rough-textured voice. If the pacing of the album occasionally drags, it can be forgiven due to the quality of the work presented.

With tunes ranging from the exuberant romance of “Take a Chance” (“I want to be everything you’d imagine a man like me should be”) to the darker “Feed the Animals” (“You’ve got enough blood to go around for the animals tonight/For a carnivore’s delight”), Mead comes across as seasoned observer of the world."
