Mads Mathias

• DIGIPACK EDITION

The title ‘I’m All Ears’ references Mads’s intuitive approach to music, having lived part of his life in Tanzania, where his love for beats, rhythm and swing originated. ‘I get inspiration from many kinds of music and it’s most important to me how music makes me feel or move – I hear sounds rather than genres’.

The album title invites us to open our ears to different ways of listening, and, beyond music, to open our ears to hear other people and cultures and their stories in an increasingly polarized world. The result of this latest affirmative is a spellbinding collection of nine undeniably swinging originals. Music to your ears.
