Matthew James – Good Talk

Matthew James is a Sault Ste. Marie-based songwriter and musician, originally from Uxbridge, Ontario. Good Talk is a work that took a few years to arrive at, a 4-song EP that is officially Matthew’s first release.

His lyrical sensibility and style has been meticulously crafted through theatrical story-telling, as well as a penchant for the heartbreaking, yearning, and honest poetry of Joni Mitchell, Harry Chapin, James Taylor, etc.. His percussive acoustic sound and expressive live performances spring an outpouring of nostalgia. He is not one to miss.

“… I put my whole heart into creating it. I wanted to explore the feeling of frustration and anger that comes with betrayal. At first, you’re in shock, but after a couple of minutes you start looking for an outlet or something to place the blame. Sometimes people lash out, but in this track I was more interested in the subtlety and passive feelings of bitterness. Like, if someone walks away while you’re saying something important and your just like “…okay cool, Good Talk, Good Talk…” I wanted to capture that feeling. I love this song, and I hope it allows you a couple minutes to vent when you’re in that place! Peace and Love” – Matthew James
