Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby has made his official return with brand new single No Ordinary Life, the first offering from his forthcoming new album due for release later this year.
Premiering the single on triple j breakfast, No Ordinary Life transports the listener into Corby’s kaleidoscopic re-imagining of the world. The slice of shimmering psychedelic splendour, taps a bold new direction by twisting a mind-bending melody, around a confronting but ultimately uplifting lyric.
The ARIA award winning musician says, “On No Ordinary Life, we were using Willy Wonka as a reference, literally, as a way to write melodies. I know that sounds a bit crazy, but that film has some strong melodic ideology. For some reason when you say Willy Wonka, it sets a mood – this magical, hyper-melodic, crooning, beautiful thing, a journey into the whimsical. We tried to make this song and a few others in that vein – as joyous as possible, which is definitely a change to what I used to do.”
