02 Aug, 18
A first listen for Taylor Mathews fans!
Fans of television’s America’s Got Talent fell in love with singer/songwriter Taylor Mathews in 2010 when he made it to the top 10 finalists vying for the top slot on the hit show. Mathews’ success continued soaring when in 2013, his first EP, Head Over Feeling, landed on the top 40 iTunes albums chart.

Chugging along with creativity and charisma, Mathews, signed with Siri Music / Caroline / Capitol Music Group, is set to release his EP Thales next month. The meaning behind the EP… Mathews explains, “‘The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.’ – A quote from the philosopher Thales. I’ve had to unpack a few things in myself over the last few years so, ultimately, I gave this record the name ‘Thales’ to memorialize this coming-of-age emotion I’ve discovered and I’m continuing to discover in knowing myself. This is the start of some real and broken and sizable truths.” Truths we’re tuned in to hear.
His 38,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify are anxious for what Mathews calls “more introspective” music this time around. And with a brand new single, “Run Like Hell” exclusively premiering with Popdust, Mathews fans will be the first to give it a whirl.
“Run like hell has been a song in the shadows for me for the past couple years. It only resurfaced when we were talking about this EP. It’s all based around a similar time period and state of mind. You’ll notice that with the opening lines ‘I’m so good about making me feel so bad [about myself]…’ that it’s the common theme of this EP and what’s to come on the full length record.”
Compared to the rest of what we will hear on Thales, Mathews describes “Run Like Hell” as more of an “anthemic number.” Be among the first to give his new single a listen:
What’s up next for Mathews? He tells Unclear Magazine, “We are working towards a full length record that I can’t wait to share and hopefully that leads to a tour!” From what we can tell, a tour is on the horizon. And we’ll “run like hell” to see his talent live!
