Matthew Schultz is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer and performer who started out playing in Chris Daughtry’s first band. He has been a staple in the entertainment industry appearing in several films and featured on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. He has already made a strong impact on the music industry with his previous releases. Last year in 2018, we saw a plethora of successful releases for Matthew Schultz including his remix of ‘Promise For Keeps’, ‘Somewhere Far’ and ‘All Night Long’ which all accumulated over 2 million streams each respectively.
‘Go’ continues the chilled out signature style of Matthew Schultz which was also on show in his previous track ‘Somewhere Far’. Starting with blissed-out synths that set a mellow mood, Matthew‘s distinctive lead vocals soon take center stage. Musically, it feels like both a continuation and progression from his previous releases with elements of reggae, dance hall and EDM all fusing together into a seamless whole. The way this track gradually builds is masterfully done, the music really begins to cook around the first minute mark with the introduction of a pulsating, infectious beat that’s guaranteed to get people to the dance floor. The exotic flourishes of instrumentation add to the summery feel of the overall sound, working in perfect harmony with the song’s lyrics.
The lyrics are about the idea of escaping to some distant exotic destination with a lover for the summer, something everyone can relate to. This spirit of adventure is captured in evocative lines like, “We can go anywhere you wanna go…ocean creeping on the shore, just relax, you need it more….”.
Overall, this is another fantastic solo track from Matthew Schultz that is absolutely tailor made for the dance floor whilst also highly suitable for commercial radio. With its exotic sound, slick production, a catchy, memorable hook as well as the elements of dance hall/reggae, it’s hard to imagine a song more suitable for the hot summer months. As Schultz’s fan base is now in the millions and growing exponentially, ‘Go’ could well become a massive smash hit worldwide and rightly so.
