Randolph Matthews: Voce Solo

If you are into world music, urban folk or Jazz you’ll understand that Randolph Matthews operates in his own parallel world where his music is an evolving journey, drawing on the greats of yesteryear in Soul and African rhythms. Matthews channelled the sounds of Marvin Gaye and Bobby McFerrin in his debut album I Love, a delicious blend of emotive words, chant-inspired and progressive beats.

His 2012 album, Precious reflected the many aspects of his kaleidoscopic palette. Both uplifting and liberating, he takes the audience on a journey through spiritual songs and motion, using looped samples and storytelling: the result is unique and intimate, with beautiful melodies.
