The Thing About Love

We say

Many male X Factor winners have a history of not reaching their full potential. Last year’s winner Matt Terry is ready to buck this trend with a high pop proficiency and last Saturday he returned to the X Factor stage where his rise to fame began. Flanked by an octet of violinists, he performed an effortless version of his new single The Thing About Love, showcasing his flawless voice to the full. The song is a beautiful heartbreak pop ballad with a catchy soulful melody and delivered with a vulnerable sincerity. Instant online reactions have been overwhelmingly positive with a #11 placing in Spotify’s New Music Friday and eye-catching positioning on iTunes. It follows his upbeat anthem Sucker For You which already has over 1 million UK streams and its accompanying video has clocked up an equally impressive 800k views. It’s been a non-stop 12 months for Matt performing across the country on the X Factor tour and showing off his Spanish fluency on the Top 10 summer smash silver selling single Subeme La Radio with Enrique Iglesias. With his debut album Trouble out today, Matt Terry is brimming with confidence and has the credentials to become long lasting part of the fabric of UK pop.
