(New York, NY – January 5, 2021) As another year comes to a conclusion, we naturally begin to reflect and seek clarity for the upcoming new year. Encompassing these sentiments and more, Grammy-nominated songwriter Ajay Mathur is excited to announce the upcoming release of his fifth studio album, Talking Loud, on Friday, March 4, 2022. With powerful themes of acceptance and acknowledgement, the 15-track album seeks to provoke listeners while simultaneously providing an outlet for self-discovery. Produced and recorded in Stans, Switzerland by Mathur, the robust musical project features Mathur on vocals, guitar, keys and effects along with percussionist Fausto Medici, bassist Richard Hugener and guitarist Christian Winiker. Written by Mathur and his writing partner Mary Lou von Wyl, Talking Loud will be available digitally and physically as of March 4, 2022.
Born into a musical family in India, Ajay Mathur has been surrounded by the arts his entire life. At age 14, after a chance encounter with one of the most influential bands in music history, The Beatles, Mathur’s passion for music shifted into high gear. With the aid of an older family member, he was encouraged to pick up a guitar and his fate was sealed.
Having played with several bands and then leaving his homeland for new opportunities in Switzerland, the artist found great success in the European music scene. Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s Mathur recorded four albums with his band Mainstreet. When the band broke up, the songwriter took an extended sabbatical from the stage to work on other projects, including writing music for commercials and short films. After compiling over 40 fully recorded tracks, Mathur was ready to return to music and released his first album as an independent artist in 2011.
With critics like Justin Harlan of Rock on Philly hailing Mathur as “an example of the far more interesting and experimental side of the adult contemporary market,” the guitarist is excited to present his fifth solo album scheduled for release in March 2022 to the world. “If you love artists like The Beatles, David Bowie, Tom Petty and Jackson Browne, you may love Ajay Mathur!” said Indie Music.
Ajay Mathur’s album Talking Loud will be available on all streaming platforms starting Friday, March 4, 2022.
