Matthew Hayes Jacob is a singer-songwriter and alt folk artist. His warm soundscapes, strung with bare acoustics and soft vocals, are delightfully candor and self-made, much like the artist himself. When you listen to his music, the softness and tenderness of intimacy envelopes you. It swirls around you, keeping its authentic rhythm and crafting beautiful frames with it. 

His latest release is ‘What Secrets Lie Ahead’, a rustic acoustic composition that slowly inflates with oriental textures, eastern beats and instrumentals. We see the guitar acoustics progress into molten frames of tabla, violins, and flutes among others. The artist tries to create a sense of mystique, that unknowable quality to represent the theme. While his warm vocals are familiar and a comfort to the listener, the instrumentals aim for more suggestive dimensions, portraying a glowing tapestry. 

All mingled with a thoughtful, narrative ethos, the composition is reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens as he synthesizes typically opposite traits, birthing a creative island of sentiments and sensibilities. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
