When we spoke to Matt Terry recently he promised he was going to share his truth with his new music, and today he puts his money where his mouth is with new song ‘His Car’.
The deeply personal song captures Terry’s experiences in his first relationship in his early twenties. Scared of being honest at the time, Terry chose to hide his sexuality but now he’s ready to share it with the world. Watch the video below:
Matt Terry says, “I came on to the music scene in 2016 where my sexuality was the forefront of every conversation. Protecting myself I walked away to discover myself naturally and privately. As a young man without any experience in that area of life, how was I supposed to tell anybody who I was if I didn’t know myself?
Today I know exactly who I am and I absolutely love the human I have become. With this story of mine I want to uplift and shine light on a huge part of the LGTBQ community that aren’t as present in our music industry or media. This song is an apology to the first man I ever loved. I asked him to keep our relationship under wraps for many years. This one is for your everyday boy next door falling in love with another.”
Terry wrote ‘His Car’ with the track’s producer Xoro (Tim Kulawik). In the video, Terry acts out scenes that mirror what happened in his own life, as he tries to keep a relationship secret. The visual was directed by Terry with the fashion photographer and filmmaker Courtney Nathan Phillip, and was shot in Yorkshire.
