New Matthew Jay song to be released
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver September 6th, 2006

A previously-unreleased song by the late Matthew Jay is to be released, by his family, this month to mark the singer's death.

Jay died three years ago at only 24 years old. He fell from a window in London. 'What Would Love Do Now?' is to be made available to download on September 24, after being discovered in 2004 by his friends and family as they searched a collection of recordings.

A statement reads: “The song is as Matthew created it: a simple, unadorned recording, and arguably all the more beautiful for its purity.

“It is certain that the track will be loved by Matthew's existing fans, and will also serve to generate new interest in his music."

A sample of the song can be heard on MySpace, here, and the full song is to be made available through this website.
