Flourishing in the smooth jazz friendly confines of Skytown Records, Swedish keyboard player Mattias Roos is back with his latest single ‘Early Sunrise’ that goes for adds August 21. Written, produced, arranged and mixed byRoos at North Hills Studio, this choice track was mastered by Jeremy Henry and along with Roos on acoustic piano, keyboards and drums the number also includes fellow Swede Ingemar Äberg on guitar.
Make no mistake this is trademark Roos and then some. The penchant he has for sublimely fusing smooth jazz grooves with an authentic old school vibe first emerged in 2011 with the band Soweto that he formed with drummer Peter Gustavsson. His Skytown debut came in 2017 with the critically acclaimed album ‘Movin’ Up’ and the equally good ‘It Goes On And On’ followed two years later. However, that wasn’t quite the end of the ‘It Goes On And On’ story. In 2020 it was released as a deluxe version with four additional tracks and an outstanding reworking of ‘Bring It On’ that this time featured Michael Lington on sax and proved to be a runaway chart success.
