Earlier this year, I told you about one of my favorite releases this year, a solo project by Matt Sorum. Matt Sorum‘s Fierce Joy released his new album, Stratosphere on March 11th and it is a truly amazing work of art. Many know Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Matt Sorum for his role as legendary drummer of Guns n’ Roses, The Cult, and Velvet Revolver but now through his new album, Matt sheds a new light on his musical talents and once again has you in appreciation and awe. 
Matt wrote the entire album and plays the piano, acoustic guitar and lead vocals. He even chose to record it on a front end analog, Trident console. Once you take a first listen, you will be shaking your head ind wonder about why we haven’t been treated to the sweet sound of Matt‘s voice sooner. Matt recently released a video for the first single off the album, The Sea. You can check it out here:
Matt‘s vocals take you on an emotional journey an his voice brings out such warmth to feed your soul. It reminds me of the first time I ever heard Bruce Coburn many years ago and just like then, I got chills when I heard Matt sing. I am always excited when I can hear vocalists truly express a range of emotions through their songs and have you join them in the story. Just like some of my favorite songwriters, Tom Petty, Bruce Coburn, and Neil Young, Matt has achieved it with great success.
