Matt Zarley • Still Time To Be Hopeful

I just wanted to offer up a little reminder that you have until Wednesday afternoon, December 18, 2013, to be a part of the romance with Matt Zarley. Just one look at a picture of the handsome and talented actor and you can see how easy it would be to feel the romance, and be quite hopeful about it. 'Hopeful Romance' is the name of the upcoming project from Zarley, the new album he is looking to release in the coming year. And I am not the only one offering up reminders, for Matt has released a couple of pictures to remind people out it.

And, by 'it', I mean his Kickstarter page, set up to help Matt raise some of the money needed to album, and the accompanying music videos. The videos are helpful in promoting the music, as anyone who reads this blog regularly must know. Another given is the fact that Zarley is a natural on camera, as he has been wonderful to watch in previous music videos, like one of my favorites, for the song "Trust Me".

"Trust Me" was written by Matt, Mark Picchiotti, and Joe Hurt. The track appears on his last album, 'Change Begins With Me'. The video was directed and edited by Benjamin Pollack, and choreographed by Benjamin Allen. And while Matt does sexy and flirty so very well, he also can deliver the goods when it comes to heartfelt and sweet. The song was written by Matt and Andy Zulla, and produced by Grammy winner, Zulla. This video was directed by Randal Kirk II. This is the music video for "Perfect", also off the latest album.

It didn't take shirtless shots to get me to be a part of Matt's campaign. It is all about the music, and damn, does he do that so well. I will admit I have the Matt Zarley discography in my collection, including his wonderful Christmas song, "One More Christmas With You". So I became a supporter, and would encourage you to do the same. With only a few days remaining to make a pledge, you can give as little or as much as you'd like. For $15, you can get a download of the album before it is available to the public.

If you would like to learn even more about Matt Zarley, visit his official website. You can also 'like' him on Facebook and 'follow' him on Twitter. But most importantly, you can find Matt Zarley on Kickstarter. Check him out, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you on any of the above!

Matt Zarley & Jeb Havens • Let Me Let Go

The other day, Singer/songwriter Matt Zarley posted a video of him singing a new song slated to appear on his 'Hopeful Romantic' album, with co-writer Jeb Havens. First I gotta say it, damn, there is a whole bunch of sexy going on in that video. I mean, damn, they are both handsome men. Then, I must point out that these men might be even more talented musically than they are gifted genetically, and that is saying something. But they give a trial run for "Let Me Go", a song still in the process of a musical birth. If this is any indication of what is coming on 'Hopeful Romantic', I an even more excited than before! This is Jeb and Matt singing "Let Me Go".

I loved it, and think the voices of these two men work incredibly well together. I have been a fan of both men individually, and when they team up, the excitement goes up exponentially. And this also gives me the opportunity to remind everyone that there are less than two weeks left to invest in your aural pleasure with a pledge for Matt Zarley's 'Hopeful Romantic' on Kickstarter. There are plenty of perks from which to choose, from a digital download to a role in three music videos to be shot in February of 2013.
