Matt Andersen has been enthralling audiences with his one-of-a-kind performance across the world for years.  On February 26th, this multi-award winning New Brunswick belter will release his new album Honest Man via True North Records.  The follow up to his 2014 JUNO Award nominated album Weightless, Honest Man sees the powerhouse songwriter pushing himself into new territory as he enlists famed R&B producer Commissioner Gordon (Amy Winehouse, Quincy Jones, Joss Stone, Santana) for his seventh studio release.  Today, American Songwriter  debuted his new song "Who Are You Listening To?" claiming "The track pairs a prominent blues rock opening with an electrifying guitar solo."

"'Who Are You Listening To?' is a call for people to make up their own minds," said Andersen.  "With so much media being thrown in our faces, we need to shut those things off and do some thinking for ourselves."
 
Honest Man is Andersen's most accessible album to date, with Gordon adding a depth of production that previous records only hinted at.  Matching this, Andersen has written ten songs that explore both the political and personal. The title track was inspired by a US political cartoon and "Let's Get Back" has Andersen thinking about how his country as a nation has changed, but not for the better.  "All The Way"takes a more personal approach as he sings about the decision to fully commit to a relationship while "I'm Giving In" muses about the moments leading up to that commitment.  Honest Man is a watershed album full of transcendent musical moments that should elevate the songwriter from internationally acclaimed to world renowned.
