MATT MALTESE COMIC LIFE

Matt Maltese has revealed a new single in the shape of 'Comic Life'. The 21-year-old, South London-based singer-songwriter is undoubtedly one of the most impressive balladeers to really appear this year and this new cut continues to prove his ability to create moving, brilliantly melancholic work with tongue still firmly in cheek. Of the track Maltese explains, "It’s about those pathetic moments when your life seems like one big Channel 4 sitcom. Moments when you don’t want to leave the house, you want another drink, you want to whine and, in my case, write another sad song." The new cut comes alongside confirmation of a UK tour, including dates supporting the legendary, politically-charged Billy Bragg; comic genius. -G.O'B
