Our Take

Andy Burrows and Matt Haig's collaborative effort, "Reasons To Stay Alive," is a delightful surprise that combines Haig's heartfelt lyrics with Burrows' infectious melodies in a way that feels both poignant and uplifting. The album opens with the title track, a slow-burning anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record, with Haig's introspective words weaving seamlessly with Burrows' acoustic guitar.

Tracks like "Barcelona," with its catchy chorus and driving drumbeat, showcase Burrows' knack for crafting memorable pop hooks, while songs like "The Story Of Me And You" demonstrate Haig's ability to write poetically about mental health struggles in a way that feels authentic and relatable.

Throughout the album, Burrows and Haig create a sense of intimacy that draws the listener in, inviting them to reflect on their own experiences with mental health and find solace in the music. The production is clean and crisp, allowing Haig's lyrics to shine through while still showcasing Burrows' musical talents.

Overall, "Reasons To Stay Alive" is a masterful collaboration between two talented artists who have crafted an album that is both emotionally resonant and musically satisfying. It's a must-listen for anyone looking for a little bit of hope and inspiration in their lives.
