"Love is like a letter wrote, and life is like an envelope. Be careful who you give it to, they might not give it back to you."
As I've said before, Australian Idol is one of my guilty pleasures. I particularly enjoyed the 2006 season that saw bright eyed Matt Corby finish in second place (Natalie Gauci was the winner for Pub trivia's sake) and thus successfully avoided the horrors of releasing a rushed pop manufactured album at the hands of the shows people. Instead he has been laying low, gigging around the place and now releasing his debut EP Songs For...
Predictably, Corby has gone down the folky singer songwriter pathway with his soft vocals and acoustic guitar interrupted only by some nice backup. I'm really liking the peacefullness of the lead single Letters, and the lyrics are quite beautiful. And it is no surprise to find that he has been working with Josh Pyke and Lior. But, it would have been nice to hear some diversity like the Zeppelin, Beatles and Wolfmother he played on the show that made him a household name.
