Matt Maltese has shared his yearnful new single ‘Pined For You My Whole Life’ from his forthcoming album ‘Hers’.The soft, soulful and romantic track sees Maltese confess his love for a partner and how much he has yearned for them. “I fell in your hands / it changed the world / a challenge that meant to want you more,” he sings over a smooth bassline and beautiful piano arrangement.Speaking about the track in a press release, Maltese shared: “Potentially the most amount of yearning I’ve done in a song.
Which is saying something. Musically the song was a true joy to make, and is heavily inspired by all the Motown and soul I was grown up with.
I’m not ashamed to say I get a lot of joy out of writing boldly pathetic declarations of love through the veil of American-leaning soul music.”‘Pined For You My Whole Life’ serves as the third taster of Maltese’s upcoming sixth album ‘Hers’ which is set for release on May 16 via The Orchard (pre-order/pre-save here).
The track follows the previously released ‘Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow’ and ‘Always Some MF’.‘Hers’ marks Maltese’s first fully self-produced album since his second LP ‘Krystal’.
