Self-released
***
Delicate vocals enhance this charming album
Matthew McCully was born and raised in Quebec. Matthew used music as a form of expression from a young age. Graduating with a major in music, Matthew left Quebec and settled in Vancouver. Music was still a great passion of Matthew’s. Encouraged by the people he shared his songs with Matthew came up with a collection of wonderful songs, which fill his new CD - MATTHEW MCCULLY AND THE MATTER OF PRINCIPLE. Matthew’s music is simple yet evocative and has a folk/country/pop sound. His songs are personal in style and content. The instruments that accompany Matthew on his musical journey give the songs a really fine ambiance. Female harmony vocals give several of the songs an added lift. The album starts off with Free Fall; a folk infused song with dark undertones, which come to life through the music and lyrics. Matthew’s voice has a real honest feel to it. Plains Of Abraham has a more upbeat feel. Matthew’s voice is dreamy and beautiful to listen to. The Protection Song has a strong bluegrass feel. The accompanying music really adds character to the song. Ohio has some lovely piano instrumentation. A slow song with delicate vocals. This is something of a slow burner but Matthew’s exquisite vocals win the day. Something Warm has a more modern sound. Matthew’s voice takes on a style reminiscent of James Taylor. An enjoyable highlight! Elephant Trainer is a lighter sounding song. Mark Of The Mermaid has a strong folk influence. Whistle Blower is an enjoyable song with quirky backing music. Matthew’s vocals are strong and edgy on this folk/rock song. Little Wars is a slower song with a rich sensitive vibe running through it. Once again James Taylor comes to mind. Swing has a traditional sound. Chain Gang ends the album on a high note. This is a warming song infused with a mixture of pop and folk. Matthew’s tender and somewhat fragile vocals give this song added depth. This is a charming album packed full of delightful heart warming songs.
