There’s just something about a song in a different language that speaks to me. I find myself enticed by the enigmas in the unknown words and mysterious sounds, concentrating on the tones and inflections of the voices to guess the meaning and messages. Match these beguiling lyrics with incredibly well-written tunes, and you have songs I listen to over and over again, lost in the music and my own thoughts.

This is where Matt Stern comes in. A native Montrealer, Matt uses the musical and linguistic influences of his world travels (which include France, Germany, Japan, China, and Nicaragua among others) to craft a sound that is unique and something oh-so-easy to fall in love with!

You can check out a preview of Matt’s upcoming still-untitled sophomore album on his site at www.myspace.com/matthewstern
and make sure to watch out for its release sometime late this fall.
