Matthew Ryan, one of the most underrated singer/songwriters of the past decade, follows-up his stellar 08 release Matthew Ryan vs. The Silver State with Dear Lover, Ryan’s twelfth album. “Dear Lover” is an intimate album that is as much devotional as confessional, capturing moments of sorrow, regret, darkness, light and hope. Ryan’s gift for melody and ability to release consistently gorgeous and challenging music makes him one of the finest musicians of his generation. Dear Lover is a beautiful album of sparse folk, sweeping ballads, torch songs, anthems and even an electronic collaboration with DJ Preach. Songs this affecting, thoughtful, this beautiful are not to be missed. – Written by JFelton
