His blues-tinged folk songs won over not only influential UK radio DJ's including Zane Lowe, Mark Radcliffe and Jo Wiley, but also inspired an early listener to create a label to release his incredible debut, Passing Stranger. Recently, the Wolverhampton songsmith won the prestigious Ivor Novello award in the Best Song Musically and Lyrically category for his atmospheric, spine-tingling single ;Elusive;, beating out Arctic Monkeys \u0026amp; Nerina Pallot.\n\nThe multitude of acclaim received for \"Elusive\" should by no means distract from the fact that in Passing Stranger Scott has crafted a beautiful, evoking and full album. Much of what makes Passing Stranger such a stunning debut is its variety. From the driving blues groove of 'Sweet Scented Figure,' to the somber yet gorgeous weaving of hushed vocals and soft guitar notes on ;Earth to Calm,; Passing Stranger contains diversity and great imagination.\n\nReview\n\n\"...the most promising home-grown singer-songwriter to emerge in years; a man whose acrobatic voice marks him out as a British Jeff Buckley.\" -- -Q Magazine\n\n\"It's no exaggeration to say Scott Matthews is probably the most exciting face of West Midland's music since Robert Plant brought his hammer of the gods vocal style to Led Zeppelin.\" -- -THE SUN\n\n\"Scott plugs into the same creative socket that powered the more pastoral Led Zep work of his fellow Midlander Robert Plant.
