Since making his debut in the industry in 2019, Matthew Joseph has been well accustomed to the art of “Waiting”. From waiting for his career to take flight to waiting for his partner to propose, Joseph is just like all of us when it comes to the agonising task of “Waiting” — which he transforms into his new enigmatic retro pop single. Reminiscent of the prowess first demonstrated by the likes of Britney Spears, “Waiting” puts Joseph’s candied vocals on full display, backing them up with a danceable melody that beckons dance floor energy.
Speaking on the new single, Matthew Joseph explains, “I wrote the lyrics of this song about my POV of constantly waiting for my boyfriend. Waiting for what is open for interpretation. I wrote a draft of ‘Waiting’ in 2020 about waiting for my big music industry break! Then another for waiting for a proposal and this is both I guess, there’s lots of hidden meanings.”
Balancing a personal approach to storytelling with a broader exploration of the universal anguish related to the act of “Waiting”, Joseph once again demonstrates exactly why he is quickly becoming an artist to watch: he is at once relatable, mesmerising and totally unforgettable.
