Vancouver singer Mathew V impresses on his fun, sassy, tongue in cheek, throwback, original jazz single, โMy Boy.โ
Jazz is NOT boring, PERIOD.ย ๐ Mathew V (Mathew Van Vooght) confirms this on his playful, sassy, tongue in cheek jazzy single, ๐ต โMy Boyโ. ย โMy Boyโ graces Van Vooghtโs 2023 jazz LP, ๐ฟ Anything Goes (arrives April 14, 2023). Notably, the talented, openly gay artist has appeared on The Musical Hype in the past โ ๐ต โDancing in the Skyโ (2022) and ๐ต โCatching Feelingsโ (2019). ย However, this is the first time Mr. V has been highlighted embracing vintage music of the past. The thing is, โMy Boyโ is not old.ย Sure, this original penned and produced by Van Vooght and ๐ผ โ ๐ Ben Dunnill channels the past โ a Marilyn Monroe-inspired record โ it sounds quite refreshing in 2023.
First and foremost, Mathew V sounds utterly sublime.ย He possesses a versatile instrument and has proven his ability to sing any and everything.ย That is the biggest selling point.ย Beyond that, being backed by a jazz combo is absolutely sick!ย The string bass! The piano! The light, traditional swinging groove on the drums! EPIC! However, letโs address what separates Van Vooghtโs single from the jazz of the past โ heโs unapologetically GAY ๐! We live for it and #STAN! Clearly, Van Vooght characterizes about what his boy embodies and who he is NOT! Itโs cute, honest, and incredibly authentic.
Final Thoughts ๐ญย
Mathew V is the sugar honey iced teaโฆ regardless of what style of music he sings ๐! He definitely sounds in his element on ๐ต โMy Boyโ. As a long-life jazz fan (and jazz pianist), I adore what V serves up.ย Throw in the same-sex POV, and โMy Boyโ is absolutely FAB!
