Matt Basile - 'Feet To The Fire'

7/10

Ever since he first emerged, Brooklyn's Matt Basile has always looked to conjure a more emotive presence than most. Embarking on this broad and innovative delve into the alt-country realm with a smattering of singles over the years, his tenure to date has been filled with this broad and lofty pursuit of some brilliantly riveting releases lately. And with his profile growing ever-stronger with each new offering, he is now looking to cement his dynamic legacy to date with the release of his eagerly-awaited debut album 'Feet To The Fire', a record that continues that adventurous spirit of his.

As a country artist from the Northern States, Matt Basile's style towards the genre certainly holds this enigmatic appeal. While much of 'Feet To The Fire' looks to explore a more traditional edge, there is plenty of interesting innovation going on here to keep the momentum of the LP moving forward throughout. With his instantly identifiable vocals making light work of its riveting grooves at every turn, he has certainly looked to make a glowing impact with his initial full-length, one that highlights some of his more inventive material to date.

It has certainly been a prolific time for him these last few years, but 'Feet To The Fire' shows that he is still brimming with plenty of fresh and explorative ideas in which to pursue. With such a progressive approach to his songwriting from start to finish, Matt Basile remains a bright and shining example of the modern country sound right now.
