Review

In "Hers," Matt Maltese steps quietly into a candlelit room of his own making, where creaking piano benches and gentle strings envelope the air with tender solemnity. Each track feels hand-spun, woven together by woodwinds that whisper like secrets in the early hours. Maltese’s voice is a soft echo, guiding listeners through half-lit corridors of memory and desire—his dry humor gleaming like the edge of silver in twilight. It's in this space of raw minimalism that his songwriting unfolds, every lyric sharpened by emotional precision.

Navigating the tangled undergrowth of affection and its aftershocks, the album pauses to linger over fleeting joys and bittersweet losses. Tunes such as "Happy Birthday" and "Cure for Emptiness" cradle the listener in melancholy's gentle arms, painting stories on the fogged glass of remembrance. The orchestral touches appear like distant lanterns on a lonely shore, illuminating Maltese’s honest reflections. "Hers" traces heartache and healing with an elegant restraint, offering solace and sincerity in every measure. - Camille
