Matt King News

Sam Fender is pleased to share the video for his new single, 'Saturday.' Directed by James Slater in London, the video features a starring role by Matt King (Super Hans in Peep Show). 'Saturday' sits at the heart of his debut album Hypersonic Missiles, an ode to the misery of an excruciatingly slow working week, a bank account that remains resolutely empty, a landlord not returning calls on a problematic flat, and the minor solace of the weekend forever just out of reach. It's a typically sobering, wholly relatable lyrical lament that Sam has quickly become renowned for telling. Sam describes 'Saturday' as 'An anthem for the everyman about living for the weekend and sticking two fingers up to zero hours contracts'

Jazz guitarist Reza Khan hits the City Winery stage in New York City on Thursday night to celebrate his well-received new album release, “Next Train Home,” which hit charts on both sides of jazz while garnering effusive reviews. Soon after he takes his final bow, he'll be back in his role as a United Nations program manager jetting off to Uganda as part of peace and conflict operations. It's an unusual balancing act for the Bangladesh-born, New York City-based Khan, who manages to straddle creative and diplomatic duties throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East with aplomb.

Globetrotting guitarist Reza Khan dropped his fifth album, 'Next Train Home,' on Friday. The twelve songs that he wrote and produced for the collection symbolize the discovery of his musical home, a multi-genre and multicultural mélange of straight-ahead and contemporary jazz enriched with world music and Brazilian jazz nuances. The album has already climbed into the top 100 on the Jazz Week chart based on radio spins from jazz radio stations while the smooth/contemporary jazz single, 'Drop of Faith,' featuring guitarist Nils, has earned most added honors on the Billboard chart.

Severely dehydrated from the oppressive heat during his travels from Mali to Uganda, Reza Khan was hospitalized after collapsing in a United Nations office. To avoid the lengthy hospitalization prescribed by doctors, he convinced them that he would recover faster if he was ensconced in a hotel room instead. During that five-day stay, he broke out his portable guitar and wrote the title track for his fifth album, “Next Train Home,” which drops April 5.
