Matt Maltese announces second album with lead single "Rom Com Gone Wrong"

"Rom Com Gone Wrong" follows on from "Curl Up & Die" that landed earlier this month.

The new offering is the opening track from Maltese's Krystal record, and arrives with a visual directed by Craig Roberts (Submarine, Just Jim).

Discussing the new single and video, Matt Maltese explains, "I tried writing some music for one of Craig’s films which inadvertently introduced him to my music and we struck up an online friendship. We realised we both have this kind of awkward sense of humour which lent itself well to a video for "Rom Com Gone Wrong". The idea was to create a sort of 'making of a music video' music video where I play the part of someone who’s disillusioned with their own music video and doesn’t get on with the director. Basically a music video gone wrong."

Krystal will follow on from Maltese's 2018 debut LP Bad Contestant.

The new record is produced by Maltese himself. Expanding on why he chose to take on producing his own record, Maltese says, "I’ve never been one to waste a good crisis and I felt like I could direct all this lost, chaotically up and down energy into a big task like this."
