Curtis M. Wong
Matt Palmer is kicking off summer happily in the throes of a new relationship, and he’s eager to croon about it.
The Los Angeles-based pop artist on Friday unveiled the video for his new single, “Do It All Again.” The song, he said, was written shortly after he began dating his current boyfriend, and reflects “that kind of euphoric feeling you have during the early stages” of a romance.

We are all embroiled in the human condition. Whether you’re gay, straight, black, white, or a wonderful blend of all of the above, you are susceptible to heartache…
…and Matt Palmer empathizes emphatically.
His new single, I Don’t Want It, throws love in the garbage in a defiant act of self-reliance. And according to the alluring artist, it feels good to be a li’l bad.

It’s hard to do what Beyoncé did with her seminal 2016 album Lemonade. Producing a video for every single song on an album, and having them flow into a streamlined story is a feat all its own, and one many artists would shy away from.
That’s what makes pop singer Matt Palmer’s new EP Get Lost even more impressive. The Los Angeles based singer-songwriter has released seven tracks and seven music videos over the course of the last two months. Each video builds on the story of a relationship, starting with its early stages and culminating in its collapse.

I was actually, planning to write about the new track “Solo Act” today but I have had another update come in regarding the release of a video for the song “Get Lost“, so I figured, I would give them both a mention.
