Song Review/ Pop : Matthew Phillips’s ‘Battlefield of Love’
Matthew Phillips is a singer-songwriter and a pop artist. Known for his surging soundscapes and colorful melodies, he has found a permanent place in the SanDiego music scene. Listening to his music is like being physically lifted into space. It’s such musical grandeur but not in the obvious way. But in the way it makes you feel. His latest release is ‘Battlefield of Love’. A track that explores the pushes and pulls of love. It is evocative and full of revealing moments that are so human. And with glowing basslines, high grooves and galaxies of synths, it is consuming.
Think artists like Owl City, Coldplay, and Zedd. That ability to create vivid scenes around the listener with music and feeling. That’s the essence of Matthew Phillips as well. There’s also a meaningful storytelling plane that unravels through this, so grounding and vulnerable. And when it comes in contact with this intoxicating instrumental space, it is like starburst.
