Having built a massive fanbase on social media, Californian rocker and singer Matthew Phillips is certainly on his way to national recognition. His recent achievement as ‘Best Pop Artist’ at the San Diego Music Awards confirms it. Listening to his latest effort, ‘Time Fades Love’, it’s easy to understand why the project got so much attention. A monumental stadium anthem, the track is incredibly cathartic and poignant, while packing tones of energy and charisma.
2023 has been a stellar year for Phillips: first enchanting listeners with ‘So in Love’ and ‘Till It’s Over’, then amassing tons of views on Youtube on his official music videos… an endeavour that hasn’t stopped here. ‘Time Fades Love’ is in fact joined by a video too, counting 12k at the date of publication.
Introduced by an emotional piano, the single then explodes into a triumph of pop-rock stylings, combining punch and intensity with expressivity and meaningfulness. Phillips’s vocals are the perfect match for such a stunning record: malleable and evocative, they completely dominate the arrangement, instantly capturing any keen listener. The chorus mirrors the song’s arena potential: it’s made for being sung out loud, all together.
Speaking about the inspiration for ‘Time Fades Love’, Matthew explains: “It is about never giving up on someone you care about. Never giving up on someone you love. It’s not strictly a romantic song, I am also referring to friendships and anyone who you care about.”
