MATTHEW KOMA, “Suitcase”
Singer Matthew Koma has created some of the best music to arrive in the last year or so, from his EP Parachute, and then with the recent release of “One Night” from his upcoming album Arcadia. Matthew announced this week that an EP will precede the album and that “Suitcase” might be included. The video above is an excellent performance live from the Cherrytree House in June. Matthew has the uncanny ability to draw you into the song, either through the melody or lyrics (or maybe both) on one listen. “Suitcase” has a lot of emotion crammed into one song and identifies some hard truths that we don’t always like to hear. It’s beautifully done – reminiscent of Australian singer Stan Walker’s “Black Box” in some ways. Can’t wait to see more Matthew Koma songs on official release this year, hopefully more sooner than later.
