Matthew Santos - Quickly Disappearing

GRAMMY� nominated singer/songwriter, Matthew Santos, who rose to prominence as the pure melodic voice on Lupe Fiasco's runaway hit, Superstar is kicking off 2012 with a new solo album and a US tour. The new album, entitled Quickly Disappearing, will be released on CandyRat Records. This is Santos' second album for the label. On 'Quickly Disappearing', Santos plumbs social consciousness and takes inspiration from the precarious predicament resulting from the melting polar ice caps and the crisis that is global warming. He brings this global issue into a sentimental and personal arena drawing parallels in his own life as an artist trying not to lose himself while also recognizing the enormity and urgency of this looming environmental disaster.Musically speaking, the album is a collection of introspective songs ranging from intimate, stripped down, acoustic movements, to full band rock 'n roll tunes, explains Santos.
