Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby has scored himself his first ever top ten smash with his latest EP "Into The Flame". The hunky 21 year-old from Sydney, who originally found fame in 2007 by appearing on Australian Idol, is in for a big year in 2012.
"Brother", the lead single from the EP, has helped the release bullet from #42 to #8 on this week's ARIA Singles Chart. Of course this was no doubt helped by the track achieving the #3 spot on the annual Triple J Hottest 100, which aired this Australia Day across the nation.
Signed to UK indie-pop record label Communion, founded by Mumford & Sons' Ben Lovett, Corby remains coy on the lyrics and meaning behind the hit single "It’s kind of one of those songs. It’s really personal which is why there’s a bit of ambiguity. I might just plead the fifth on that one." he tells The [AU] Review.
Triple J quotes "Brother" as "a fresh injection of soulful vocals and bluesy melodies bound together with his unique style of melodic folk" and "arguably Corby’s most assured work to date". And to be honest, we couldn't agree more.
Take a listen to "Brother" below, as well as remixes by Lancelot and Guerre.
"Into The Flame" EP is available today [iTunes]
