The singer-songwriter has spent the best part of the past decade wowing audiences with his hit residency show on the Las Vegas strip, but now he’s ready to hit the road and the charts once again with an all-out celebration of pop music. 

Born from a period in which Matt admits he’d fallen out of love with his career, the album takes a deep look inside the man behind the music, tackling subjects such as grief, love, loss and infidelity.

While the subject matter might sound like something from Adele’s latest selection of heartbreak-inspired slow-jams, Matt turns the energy up with earworm hooks and anthemic choruses harkening back to his boyband days. 

Lead single Somewhere To Fall is an instant radio hit, while the mid-tempo jam Unbreakable is a defiant, self-empowerment anthem to pull him through his darkest days. 

Alongside straightforward pop, Matt explores new sounds; The Joke, with its funky bassline and swing edge, is a damning assessment of a one-sided relationship, while Feeling High is a stellar electro-pop moment that holds up alongside his very best. 

‘The Beautiful Unknown’ closes with a faithful cover of one of Matt’s favourite songs – Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 ballad Landslide – and serves as a thank you from the musician to the artists that have inspired him since his childhood, through his career today. 

The result is a current, varied collection that, through exploring various musical avenues, paints a portrait of Matt Goss – the pop star – as he stands today. 

‘The Beautiful Unknown’ is available on CD (including signed editions) and vinyl.
