Conor Matthews - MAGIC (2025) [Hi-Res]

Nashville-based vocalist Conor Matthews is an emotive singer/songwriter known for his pop- and R&B-influenced sound. Matthews first emerged online in 2016 with a cover of Chris Brown's "Grass Ain't Greener," before gaining wider attention with his 2020 EP Heartbreak in the Hills and 2024's 42.

Raised in Chicago, Matthews began writing his own songs while he was still a teenager. After high school he moved to Nashville, where at age 19 he caught the attention of Keith Urban, who helped sign him to a writing deal with Warner Chappell. In 2016 he issued a cover of Chris Brown's "Grass Ain't Greener." He then released three of his own singles in 2018: "Inside Out," "I Told You," and "Love You Drink About." Following the same course in 2019, he issued the tracks "On and On," "Heaven Help Me," "Midnight Flight," and more. In 2020, he released the EP Heartbreak in the Hills, which featured the single "Wait for Me." A string of singles, including "Snow in Miami," "Burn My Bed," and "Monster You Made Me," paved the way for Matthews' second EP, 2024's 42. ~ Matt Collar
