Sydney singer-songwriter Matt Boylan-Smith is about to take the world by storm with his stunning new single “We Dream Of River Songs” which will be released on Friday 15th May.

Stirring production drives listeners to a sense of release, where Matt’s vocals soar over the solemn string section, as well as his own warm and subtle vocal harmonies.

Matt Boylan-Smith’s sound is a bit of a stew, with the main ingredients being folk, alt and pop. The Piano and Vocally driven ballad has been cooked up with producer Dan Frizza in Coogee over a few days with Matt playing all instruments apart from Violin and Drums, with Matt also collaborating with Lon Lemaster (Toto 4) and Beau Hill (Co-Founder of Interscope Records) in the lead up.
“I wrote ‘We Dream of River Songs’ as I was discovering some new instruments… whilst dreaming about a magical chance-meeting by the water that I had in a place called Riverhouse,” said Matt. “Things seemed a little easier to me in those moments, and I wanted to try and recapture and manifest that all with the songwriting. With what is currently happening in the world, the song has taken on even more meaning to me, as I strive to hold on to my wonderful memories and manifest new ones.”

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
