Matt Maltese details his sixth studio album, Hers

"Always Some MF" is the second track to be lifted from Hers, following "Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow". On the new single, he plays the faux tough guy in the face of the knotty jealousy that occasionally rears its head in a loving relationship.

The song will be accompanied by a music video, directed by Prasanna Puwanarajah, and starring actor Nadia Parkes and choreographer / actor Ira Mandela Siobhan alongside Matt, who turns his hand to fencing, vying for the affections of his lover.

“I’ve written a lot of music that comes from a place of infatuation, but this record was written on reflection of a much longer-term love. The complications and wonderful roads that that goes through and the more informed heartaches that come out of it. I got to really reflect and slave over it... It’s a bit like having a year to write a really important email,” he says.

“I’m British enough to feel a slight shame of writing so many love songs in the past,” he adds. “Maybe the more interesting thing on paper would have been to go to the other side of the world and write a concept album about prehistoric creatures or something, but at the end of the day, we’re all human, and love and people are things we’re all continually affected by. It’s my job as a songwriter to excavate the things in my life, and that’s what I was going through.”
