MATT MALTESE COMIC LIFE (VIDEO)

Matt Maltese has shared a brilliant video for current, self-produced single 'Comic Life'. The subtly thought-provoking visuals, which come ahead of his first full UK headline tour, see the suited, South London-based balladeer kidnapped before dancing with a doppelganger on a grey coastal setting. It's drenched with the tongue-in-cheek, juxtaposing humour we've come to love from the impressive newcomer, who continues to showcase his incredible, beyond-his-years songwriting talent. Of the video he explains, "A lot of us have different voices in our head - seven or eight alter egos to try and piece together. This video is my live attempt at trying to do that. To connect the poor sad tosser who wants to anxiously shut himself away in pride, to the wannabe crooner traipsing his ass in front of a piano and singing about his feelings for people. Sam Hiscox my amazing comrade (who directs here) is someone I'm very honoured to have helped me bring this to life." Everything's going on for Matt Maltese; a breakthrough 2018 awaits. -G.O'B
