I just read about this guy in the new DNA which arrived yesterday. Matt Alber is a gay singer songwriter that certainly doesn’t do pop. The first comparison that comes to mind would be Will Young, possibly because of the gay thing, possibly because of the beautiful music and obvious disregard for the “rules” about not flaunting your sexuality.
That is beautiful. Thanks for that!

Thanks for this – great song. Have bought the album! My only complaint is that he looked better unshaven :)
I saw him sing this live at a fundraiser last month. He really won me over, because I was already getting tired of hearing all over the blogs that he was the new gay singing sensation, but he is really talented.
Sounds like Rufus Wainwright.
Like Shawn said, he sounds a lot like Rufus Wainwright.
You really need to read the lyrics – the most incredible love poem I have ever read (and I’m in my 70′s).
