I discovered the fab Matt Cardle along with most of the world as he won "The X Factor" in the UK and released his million selling single "When We Collide." Since then, he's released his platinum selling debut album, Letters, and sophomore album The Fire.
Millions of sales later, ‘Loving You’ is the newest single from Matt (featuring Melanie C) and it's terrific. Co-produced by Cardle with Jamie Scott & Toby Smith (ex-Jamiroquai). The track features Cardle on guitar and drums and is the first taster of his as-yet-untitled new album, due for release this October. Release date for the single is August 18.
“I met Melanie at the Isle of Wight Festival last year,” says Cardle. “I’m a big fan and I’ve always loved her voice. I had already started writing ‘Loving You’, and I thought with a few changes it could work perfectly as a duet. I’m really thrilled with the song and I can’t wait for people to hear it.”
One of a very elite group of male solo artists with a platinum-selling debut album, Cardle has sold over two million singles and albums combined, and has completed four sell-out UK tours in the past two years.

Great voice, great artist, great talent. Watch...
Great "report" sir! I could not agree with you more. Matt is a genius artist. From his writing to his playing, producing and all points in between...he is a rarity in the business today. You are right when you say to watch him...when he crosses the pond, all of us here in North America are in for a real musical treat. Thank you Randy!
ReplyDeleteI too first saw Matt on X Factor, loved him then, love him even more now. Live he's in a league of his own, his recent unplugged tour was a triumph. I love this song, Matt's and Melanie's voices sound fantastic together. I can't wait to hear the rest of the new album, with Matt writing, singing, playing most of the instruments and handling a lot of the production himself I know it will be amazing.
