After taking a decade break from music, Matthew James Allen came back hitting harder than ever. With his latest release, ‘Never.’ The singer took all of the deep personal pain, silence, and faith and intertwined them into a beautifully written, tear-jerking single. After going through a decade interlaced with watching his wife battle severe illness, and facing near tragedy with his daughter, Matthew James Allen transforms his moments of hopelessness into the very lyrics of this single, with words such as ‘It’s haunting me inside/ telling me lies/ pushing you away I fear.’ It is the very vow of perseverance and faith that he stands for.
‘Never’ is the first in an upcoming EP, written in the aftermath of years of hardship. After having the pleasure of listening to unreleased songs, I can say for certain that the EP was one of the most beautiful yet hard listens I’ve had the honor to hear. With lyrics such as ‘There’s someone who shows me I’m much more than what I see/ see in me/ what I see is not me’ that touch on struggling with self-image and persevering with the love and support of those around you, the unique approach to songwriting that Matthew James Allen has is sure to leave you heavy with emotions.
