Matt Cardle's debut album is going to be 'anthemic'

  • June 28, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

Authentic Singer Songwriter Matt Cardle has talked a bit about recording sessions for his 'anthemic' debut album.

Having begun work on the record following this year's X Factor tour, Cardle has now revealed to Newsbeat what the 'much anti­cip­ated' record will sound like.

Being sure to cover every possible musical base, the X Factor winner said: "There's some anthemic stuff in there, there's some very upbeat stuff, there's some stripped-back soulful stuff in there. It's been such a whirlwind."

Turning to list his numerous influ­ences Cardle was similarly vague, "My inspir­a­tion is everything I've ever listened to; Michael Jackson, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Dave Matthews Band."

To lend the 'When We Collide' singer added cred­ib­il­ity, his as yet untitled album will be released in a joint venture between Simon Cowell's Syco label and Columbia records. Columbia is home to such credible acts as The Courteeners, The View and Avril Lavigne.
