Matt Maltese releases new single ‘Florence’
It’s the final taste of his upcoming album ‘Driving Just to Drive’.
Ahead of the release of his fourth studio album ‘Driving Just to Drive’ on 28th April, Matt Maltese has shared the video for the new single, ‘Florence’.
Speaking about the song, Maltese has said: “This is a pretty old song that Josh [Scarbrow] convinced me to dig up from the grave and put on the album. I quite liked the idea of putting a song on the record that wasn’t really written at the same time as everything else.
“I’ve made a lot more peace with my greener, sincerer older songs that I wrote before I started making my first album, and songs like ‘Florence’ that have a multi-year gap between writing and recording often make for more interesting versions than the ones you write and record in the moment.”
Maltese has also recently collaborated with artists including Jamie T, Joy Crookes and Celeste, as well as earning endorsements from Frank Ocean and Doja Cat.
