Take Yours, I'll Take Mine

Matthew Mole

unsigned/Just Music

WE SAY

Matthew Mole is consistently writing tracks which transcend the unsurprising onslaught of folk pop that comes our way and Take Yours, I'll Take Mine is no exception. The South African songwriter has just seen his debut album The Home We Built top the iTunes chart in his homeland, and he's the first native to do so. Along the way he outsold the likes of Jay-Z, Imagine Dragons, Robin Thicke and Michael Buble. The momentum is growing internationally, picking up 115 plays on US radio over the past few weeks, with interest from labels, publishers, synch companies and booking agents on both sides of the Atlantic. Expect a UK appearance from Matthew ahead of a US tour in early 2014.
