Description
Matt Cardle makes a most welcome return to Sony Music on April 27th with the release of new album Time To Be Alive. Lead single Desire, an electronic, hook laden delight serves as the perfect introduction to Matts new sound. The striking record sees Cardle collaborate with Jim Eliot (Kylie, Will Young, Ellie Goulding) Christopher Elms (Bjork, Anohni, Alanis Morrisette) Dan McDougall (Liam Gallagher), Dimitri Tikovoi (MNEK, Goldfrapp) and James Hayto & James Jackman (George Michael). Matt has reinvented his sound on Time To Be Alive, fusing electronica, gospel, rock and soul. The lyrics are all personal observations on addiction, redemption, atonement and eventual contentment. Its a collection that will surprise, and one Matt is incredibly proud of. All but one of the albums 14 songs were co-written by Cardle. They reveal a portrait of an artist struggling with personal battles, but ultimately winning the war. Producer Jim Eliot was chosen by Matt to help him translate these intimate songs into an electronic, soulful album, which was primarily recorded at Jims Hay-on-Wye studio, and at Sarm Studios in London. Time To Be Alive was mixed in Stockholm by Christopher Elms, best known for his work with Bjork.
