Portuguese American singer songwriter Matt Costa was 21 when his homemade demo found the ears of No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont. The two recorded more demos, then a pair of EP’s (Matt Costa and The Elasmosaurus), which they sold basically out of the trunk of a car. The EP’s were basically put together and remixed into the original version of the album Songs We Sing, which was independently released in 2005. It was then remixed again, with a different tracklist, and put out in its current configuration on Jack Johnson’s label, Brushfire Records, in 2006 (the original album was last available on CD Baby, and has sold out with no more copies available). The trajectory of this album over three years and into increasingly more powerful hands is understandable. While not a perfect record, Songs We Sing shows real promise, and is about as charming a debut album as you’ll find. From the beginning of “Cold December”, you know that this kid has got something. He’s nowhere near as loud as No Doubt, and he’s much less jazzy than Johnson. Which is what makes Costa, and Songs we sing, so appealing. He’s like a throwback to the old singer-songwriters of the 1970’s.
Being signed to Jack Johnson’s label has its perks…but it also brings comparisons to its owner. Costa brings more to mind John Butler than he does Johnson. He also brings to mind a lot of other people as well. Costa seems to change his style for each song, even to the point of annoyingly jumping from American to a British accent. This becomes more of a distraction than anything else, as what Costa has above all else is a batch of pretty great songs…why hide them behind different personas? Be yourself, man, and let your songs speak for themselves! Despite this, Songs We Sing does bring the same sunny disposition that Johnson and Butler bring. It’s an album loaded with potential and promise, and it’s a nice listen for the most part…just don’t let the flaws get in your way. Costa continues to record, and is still in the Jack Johnson stable. Still waiting for that huge breakthrough, though. Right off the bat, he was so close. [First added to this chart: 02/06/2013]
