Editor's note

Matt McAndrew's raw, soul-touched voice

A Cleveland singer whose delivery carries the weight, from early soul influences to recent returns.

For a good sense of his approach, try 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' or 'Hurt Me Again.' The voice is really what carries it.

You can hear those early Otis Redding and Sam Cooke influences in the way he sings, it's raw and emotional, not polished. That quality shows up on tracks like 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' and 'Hurt Me Again,' where the vocal delivery does most of the work. It's a sound that feels lived-in, which isn't common in every voice you hear.

His debut single 'Wasted Love' came out in 2014 and landed on Billboard's Adult Top 40. After a self-titled album, he stepped back around 2017 following personal allegations he denied, then returned to release 'Circles' in 2021.

Archive material and source history

Matt McAndrew came up in Cleveland, Ohio, where he grew up listening to Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. That early exposure to soul music shows up in the way he sings, with a raw, emotional quality that feels lived-in rather than polished.

His debut single 'Wasted Love' came out in 2014 and did well enough to land on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart. After that, he put out a self-titled album and later followed it up with another called 'Circles' in 2021. You can hear his approach on tracks like 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' and 'Hurt Me Again,' where the vocal delivery carries most of the weight.

There was a period around 2017 when he stepped back from music after some personal allegations surfaced, which he denied. He returned a few years later to keep recording and putting out songs.
