Mathilda Homer

Catch Mathilda Homer Live in London This April!

Mathilda Homer’s new music, like her life over the past three years, has been moulded by motherhood. Since her last release in 2021, her two young children have unknowingly transformed her outlook, imbuing it with a nuance and depth she’d never quite seen before. Her return sees her reckon with this fundamentally life-altering experience and reexamines the world around her through a more perceptive but, ultimately, hopeful lens.

Raised in a free-spirited home with what she describes as a perpetual “open door”, welcoming a rotating cast of creatives, Mathilda seemed destined for artistry. She began writing songs when she was 14, and eventually recorded her debut EP, the soul-inflected ‘God’s A Girl’, in 2018, which was followed up with 2019’s ‘Sunny Like You’, 2020’s ‘Dear Life’ and her most recent release, ‘If You Were on Fire’ in 2021. Across the EPs, she steadily built a repertoire of jazz-leaning pop songs suffused with her unmistakable wit and knack for clever, concise storytelling.

‘Pretty In Blue’ encompasses all the facets of Mathilda’s artistry today. An ode to her best friend, who she says was “feeling like her worth was strapped to her unbelievably beautiful looks”, the track also speaks to her hopes not to impose similar, toxic belief patterns onto her own children.

It also marks a sonic homecoming for Mathilda, with a return to the folk-indebted singer-songwriter influences she grew up with. She sounds at home, her vocals sincere and graceful, winding over hypnotic guitar picking that brings to mind the work of Eva Cassidy or Joni Mitchell. Her voice has a hazy, affectionate flutter that expertly traverses from sweet and soothing to commanding and spirited.
