Matthew Phillips is back on our radar with his new single, “Time Fades Love” and we can’t get it out of our heads. This artist is one of our favorite names and his music is always enjoyable. The energy of his music is beautiful and the production skills are impressive. The music video was filmed live and perfectly backs the track’s story.
Matthew’s vocals are catchy and powerful. His lyrics are beautifully written, emotional, and mesh perfectly with the vocal melodies. The melodies of this song are captivating, and the quality of his music is top-notch. His emotional vocals shine through, making each line resonate with the listener. The production and mixing are excellent, showcasing his rich voice and making his performance memorable.
Phillips shares that “Time Fades Love” is about never giving up on someone you care about, whether it’s a romantic partner, a friend, or anyone else important in your life. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining connections despite the busyness of life and the conflicts that may arise. It’s a song of hope, asking those we care about to not lose faith in us and to work through challenges together, coming out stronger in the end.
Phillips explains further, “I wrote this song about that feeling you get being so in love. The things we are willing to do in that state of mind. When we are in love, we can get rather silly and act out things we wouldn’t normally. Love is such a powerful force in our world. It can be the best feeling ever and also be unbelievably painful when things go awry. This song speaks to the ups and downs of a relationship. An incredible thing about music is when people take a song like this and make it their own. I have my story as to what it means to me. When we play it live, people will tell us it reminds them of ‘their quarantine romance’. I am honored to create music that moves people in any way.”
