hopefulROMANTIC, the album, will be released on February 10, 2015. hopefulROMANTIC, the film, due early next year, is a unique and practically dialogue-free narrative articulated solely through Matt Zarley and collaborator Andy Zulla ("Smash") 's soulful pop score. It co-stars Chuck Saculla (featured in this video), Jolie Jenkins and George Takei. The film and its songs merge Zarley's love of pop music and musical theatre into a cohesive whole. Each song is one part of a narrative trajectory that tells the story of one man's journey through love, heartbreak, and healing. "I Just Knew" is the beginning of that journey.

Matt will continue to unveil music videos and songs from the film and album throughout the coming months.
