Review: Matt Kearney "Young Love" CD

A few weeks ago, had the opportunity to review the new album by Matt Kearney titled "Young Love". I must admit I had not heard of Matt Kearney before but once I popped in the CD on my daily commute to work I started to like him. His music is very happy go lucky and catchy. There are several tracks that made morning work commute a bit brighter! Admittedly a few of the songs sound the same with the same beat and tone. Overall this CD is a great one to add to your collection especially if your in a happy mood!

Mat Kearney's third album, Young Love, hit stores last week debuting on the #1 spot on iTunes Album and Rock charts and is currently sitting at #5! Propelled by the sunny handclap and catchy hook of hit single "Hey Mama", Young Love is quickly making listeners fall for Mat all over again. Mat Kearney is an O2O favorite and some of you may have been lucky enough to catch his super fun performance at BlissDom'11 where he did a surprised duet with Michelle Branch.

If you aren't familiar with Mat's music you've probably heard some of his previous hits on your favorite TV shows. Past songs have appeared on 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, The Hills, Friday Night Lights, Scrubs, NCIS, and numerous other television shows. Mat's been winning over crowds on tours with everyone from John Mayer and Sheryl Crow to Keane and The Fray.
