Matt Goss will return later this year with his fifth solo album ‘The Beautiful Unknown’.

Preceded by lead track Somewhere to Fall, the new record began life six months into the pandemic, when the Bros star was compelled to rediscover his first love of songwriting.

The title for the record came before many of its tracks, with Matt explaining: “We have been conditioned to fear tomorrow, to fear next week, to be fearful of next year certainly. 

Somewhere To Fall OUT NOW. Also…I can finally share that I’ve returned to pop and have an album coming out later this year, titled “The Beautiful Unknown”, which you can pre-order now. I can’t wait to hear what you rockstars think. Pre-order at the link in bio. pic.twitter.com/4phFIxbW17

— Matt Goss (@mattgoss) August 20, 2021

“Because there is this unknown energy around all of us – no time more than now. And I’ve been through the ringer during Covid, betrayed by some people, uplifted by others. 

“So, ‘The Beautiful Unknown’ is a request to people to come along with this philosophy that tomorrow is going to be a good day and a good place.”

Produced at the storied Record Plant in LA, with additional recording in Nashville, ‘The Beautiful Unknown’ is the album Matt Goss needed to make now.

“I wrote this song called Shipwreck at 3 am. It’s a song about not wanting to give up, about feeling broken, the analogy of a shipwreck underwater, the image of everything being slowly dismantled by the tide. 

“I kept writing the next night, and then I called Babyface. And him being a wonderful human being said he loved it and that I should come to his studio in LA and record it.”

The R&B joins a handful of big-name collaborators on the record, along with Jacob Bunton, who’s worked with everyone from Mariah Carey to Steven Tyler. 

After wrapping up work on his new release, Matt, who has been based in Los Angeles for the past three decades, is looking forward to returning to the UK to promote the album. 

“I want to go back to my people and to my world,” he beamed. “I have to get back to pop. I’m so happy to say I’ve fallen back in love with pop music, and the power of pop music. 

“There’s no hiding that on this record.”

‘The Beautiful Unknown’, due November 19, is available to pre-order on CD (including signed editions) and vinyl.
