Read MoreMatt Goss releases new album ‘Life You Imagine’ this week
Life You Imagine, Matt Goss’s highly anticipated solo album, is the classy, swinging sound of ambition, passion, and the realisation of 27 years’ experience in the music industry. If Goss’s pop career hit an early peak with “I Owe You Nothing” and “When Will I Be Famous”, the classic Eighties hits he enjoyed with Bros when he was just 17, it reaches an impressive new high with this brand new solo album – a project sprung into life by the singer and showman’s long-running, hot-ticket, weekly residency in Las Vegas.
“I wanted to write an uplifting album about the Vegas experience and feeling like a man,” says Goss with the insight born of an illustrious and varied career – and of being through the emotional mill. “You find your groove, and it feels good. I wanted it to reflect how I am now, and how I’ve been over the last four years, and what it’s like when you come through a big relationship.”
And it’s harder because Goss has a lot to say. He admits with a laugh that he and legendary producer Ron Fair (Christina Aguilera, The Black Eyed Peas) “butted heads a lot” during the recording of Life You Imagine. “We’re both very meticulous, and we did push each other – but in the best ways.” His ambition – to honour the spirit of the musical icons he adores, from Presley and Sinatra to The Police and Amy Winehouse – would require a lot of hard work.
‘Life You Imagine’ is out now.
