For their first album in 11 years and fifth overall LP Where The Light Goes [Atlantic Records], Matchbox Twenty— Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette, and Kyle Cook —simply did what they do best and wrote another great batch of real, relevant, and relatable songs.
This album benefitted from the musicians’ respective solo journeys. Rob Thomas has proven one of the most highly decorated artists of recent years – releasing five solo albums and receiving three GRAMMY Awards, 11 BMI Awards, the first-ever Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award, two Billboard "Songwriter of the Year" honors, and top 5 placement on Billboard’s Top 20 Hot 100 Songwriters of the aughts. Meanwhile, Paul Doucette has scored and contributed original music to film and television series such as Utopia, For All Mankind, and more. As the Global Pandemic scrapped the group’s 2020 tour plans, they wrote and shared ideas from their respective home studios. At the end of 2021, they finally congregated as a band with GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Gregg Wattenberg [Train, John Legend, Goo Goo Dolls].
“This album was definitely informed by what was happening in our individual studios. There was a little more freedom. An idea would be shared by one of us, and somebody else would take it another direction. We’ve never worked this way before. We explored our own creativity and used it to make an album that really embodies what we love about music.”
