It’s a "Woman’s World" & Matt Morris is Just Living in It
On Wednesday, the “Turn Back Time” legend known only as Cher released her new single “Woman’s World”. Due to international leaks of early mixes of the single, Warner Brothers rushed its final mix and delivered it one day before Thanksgiving – which I am guessing left some Cher fans very thankful. The song -a woman-empowering club anthem with striking beats and slamming synths- is the first from the performer’s new album, which is set to drop in 2013 and includes songs written by other power-pop divas Lady Gaga and P!nk. “Woman’s World” was written by Anthony Crawford, Paul Oakenfold and Matt Morris. Yes, that Matt Morris – the one I…

First Listen: Christina Aguilera’s New Album "Lotus"
Christina Aguilera has been sharing her gifted voice with the world since she landed a role on Disney’s ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ alongside fellow Mouseketeer’s Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Matt Morris and Ryan Gosling. After shedding her mouse ears Aguilera reinvented herself with each new album and era of her -now long- career. And while it hasn’t always been easy for the controversial singer, she continues the fight to gain the respect that her impressive pipes deserve. No one can argue that tracks like “Beautiful” and “The Voice Within” will likely earn her a spot among the greats, but her attempts at further reinvention haven’t always proved successful. Her last two albums Back to Basics and Bionic, a role…

The Best Of 2010
As I prepare to celebrate another year’s end, I can’t help but reminisce about the whirlwind year that has passed by so quickly. If 2010 brought one thing, it was great music. Some of the best albums of the new millennium’s decade popped up in its last year and I was there salivating over each and every note. This year also granted me access to some new discovery, as I traveled to music festivals across the country, including South By Southwest and The UMS, discovering bright new gems to add to my ever growing playlist. And finally, my year ended with a move east to the “Crazy Town”: Nashville, Tennessee.…

Matt Morris Recalls "My First Snow"… and Yours
It’s that time of year; the air is crisp, the leaves are crunchy, and the stores are filling up with holiday cheer. And, as it seems to every year, the holiday season is quickly approaching. Today, my friends and neighbors from Denver (my home just 4 months ago) post about the cold, wintery weather that the Mile High City is facing, but for me this year might not be quite like the white Christmases I remember. Nashville, while feeling cool and crisp, has yet to see any of those white flakes drop from the sky. But, just as I’ve almost completely forgotten about the winter days, sledding in my backyard…
