Sounds, back in 2016 and continued releasing acclaimed music, riding a wave of success that culminated with his 2021 EP The Outer Circle, which earned him a Juno Award (effectively the Canadian Grammys) nomination for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year.Earlier this year, Mathew released his latest album, Anything Goes, which reintroduces him to the world as an accomplished jazz vocalist. The LP finds him making a bold return to the classics of the American songbook, the music he grew up with, covering and reinterpreting some beloved standards through the queer perspective.From his take on Sweet Charity standout “Big Spender” to an update of Etta James’ timeless torch song “At Last,” Mathew breathes exciting new life into these favorites—the album even features a lovely original number, and a delightful ABBA cover, too!With Anything Goes in heavy rotation, we were delighted to have Mathew V as the latest guest of our rapid-fire Q&A series, Dishin’ It.
