SA: Matthew Mole releases Wake Up, It’s Morning album

Wake Up, It's Morning, follows Ghost, which won the Record of the Year at the South African Music Awards in 2021.

The 13-track collection blends nu-folk, indie pop and acoustic ballads. The album’s first international single, ‘Always By My Side’ is available on major streaming platforms. Other tracks on the album are ‘I’m with You’, ‘Enough’, ‘Goodbye’ and ‘Say You’ll Be Mine’, which was co-written with Jonathan Quarmby, who has worked with artists like Lewis Capaldi and James Arthur.
