“There are a couple of bits where my vocal does have that edge to it. But I’ve been trying so hard to emulate my past influences, and young heroes like Kurt Cobain. If you’ve got that then you’ve got it, if you don’t and you try and do it, then you damage it.

“If you’ve got a clear voice, you’ve got a clear voice, and I think I have. When I get right up there, that’s when it can rasp.

“I do love the falsetto though, you get away with that, and it’s not hard, if you’re a singer the falsetto is really easy on your voice, rather than belting it all the time.”

現年28歲、來自英國Essex的Matt Cardle，2010年贏得英國歌唱選秀節目「The X Factor」第7季總冠軍，以動人歌聲和完美假音打動觀眾和評審，參賽期間觀眾投票幾乎每場都是第一名，最後奪冠並簽入哥倫比亞唱片合資的Syco Music，發行首張個人矚目大碟《Letters》，首週便以7萬張的超高銷量，空降英國金榜亞軍，在參賽前曾從事磚工、郵差、送牛奶、粉刷匠等工作的 Matt Cardle，如今已成為英國樂壇熾手可熱的人氣流行搖滾男歌手。

專輯中以〈Starlight〉揭開序幕，透過詞曲表達生命中，所有不重要的小事所帶來的美麗與哀愁。〈Amazing〉則是對愛情的尋覓與渴望。專輯同名曲〈Letters〉Matt Cardle淒美的假音，英國媒體力讚媲美Coldplay〈Fix You〉。Matt Cardle用他的歌聲，寫了一封直達你我心靈的信箋。

每次看專輯的中文介紹都覺得很有趣

「我真的很愛假音，你從真音轉換到假音，這一點也不難。如果你是個歌手，比起一直用丹田唱歌，假音真的很好用。」

Well, I don't know how to use the falsetto good. Maybe Chris Martin or Matt Cardle can teach me?

They are amazimg and can't be compared together, by the way.

I have noticed him since he was on X Factor. He always did an amazing job. And his smile is so lovely.

One of gay times cover is him, but he is not gay. (In fact, I thought he was at first when I saw him on the magazine. Sorry.)
