MAX MATTHEW - "Dead of the Night"

MUSIC FARMER 5 - Review by Adam Jones

Alive in the Dark: Max Matthew’s ‘Dead of the Night’ is a Funky, Fierce Ride

MAX MATTHEW's "Dead of the Night" feels like stepping into an irresistible groove, where the pulse of the music grabs you from the very first note. The track opens with a drumbeat that dances with a bassline straight out of the 70s; yet its energy is undeniably fresh. It’s as if you’ve been transported to a sleek underground disco, where the air hums with excitement, but there’s a modern edge—a sharpness that makes it feel vital and new.


MAX MATTHEW's "Dead of the Night" unfolds, the chorus explodes with the magnetic line, “We just come alive in the dead of the night,” an anthem for anyone who finds themselves thriving when the world goes quiet. The harmonies rise like waves, enveloping you in MAX MATTHEW's collaborative warmth - lifting you ever so higher into the song’s vibrant rhythm. The influence of Michael Jackson’s soulful finesse and Bruno Mars’ playful swagger lingers in the air, while the guitars inject a gritty, driving force that propels the song into overdrive. It's both playful and intense, merging the spirit of a carefree celebration with a deeper, more fiery energy.


But it’s the bridge that truly elevates the song—an unexpected surge of electricity as a blistering guitar solo breaks loose, reminiscent of Van Halen’s iconic shredding. It’s a moment that feels almost cinematic, bursting through the song’s danceable pulse like lightning on a summer night. It adds a thrilling edge, amplifying the emotion and power of the track as the vocals push forward with urgency: “Watch us in the dead of the night, watch us come alive in the dead of the night.”
