Following the release of acclaimed single ‘Until You Come By’ earlier in the summer, The AJM Show is back with the release of his debut EP Matinée. Matching colourful melodies to alluring rhythms, the EP enthuses powerful backbeats alongside infectious rhythms.

The AJM Show fuses genres as it takes you on a journey through funk, synth-pop and ballad tracks pulling your emotions in every direction whilst keeping your engagement right on track.
Starting with ‘Take A Walk’ the EP kicks off with high-energy grooves brimming with isolation-inspired emotional lyricism. Next up comes ‘The Answer’ a riff-driven track that features a dynamic brass section to back up the glittery synths and electric guitars. ‘With You’ takes elements of synth-pop that create a charming and bright foundation for the vocals to soar on top of. ‘Are You Looking For Me?’ is a beautifully evocative track with gentle guitars and string orchestration that feels like a delicate hug, closely followed by ‘Hard-Wired Womaniser’, bouncing back from the previous track with a pluckiness and cheek in its instrumentation. That brings the debut body of work to a close with ‘I Wrote You A Letter’, where the dichotomy of musical energy and discontent lyrics are once again paired together to wrap up the project and lead you right back to the beginning.

The EP will also be released physically on CD, which includes an extra track, that is available to preorder from The AJM Show’s big cartel store.

Speaking about the creative processes behind the EP, he comments, “It’s indie-pop/rock at its core but has a further blend of influence and instrumentation from further afield, such as R’n’B & funk. The writing for this project began during the latter stages of the pandemic and is self-produced/recorded, also featuring some excellent musicians who've contributed. Lyrically, it tackles a variety of themes, such as fracturing relationships longing for youth, and the monotonous life that stemmed from lockdown.”
