Matthew Barber，在网上只查到是加拿大一位多伦多歌手兼词曲作者。Toronto singer/songwriter Matthew Barber seemed like a good breakout candidate a few years back, but has been relatively quiet recently, perhaps aging the mortar in anticipation of Ghost Notes, his first new album in close to three years. The album is fairly mature sounding and pretty darn MOR-ish, not that there's anything wrong with that. Barber's songwriting and arrangement skills seem to have evolved, with elements of country, folk and parlour balladry leaking their way into the mix. The production is crystal clear and Barber's vocals are put front and centre, whether playfully rollicking through "(I'm Gonna) Settle My Accounts With You" or patiently crooning through "Somebody Sometime." Overall, this isn't really my cup of tea, but I could totally see 20-something white girls lapping this stuff up. Make of that what you will.
