"Olivia Newton-john recently discovered this amazing singer and has taken quite an interest in his music. Upon hearing his CD for the first time, Olivia said "Wow - what a great voice!"



Matt Zarley's first CD, Debut, was by all measure a critical success. And now he's back with "Here I Am" and it's another excellent pop EP.



Billboard Magazine gave this EP a rave review: "...a beautifully produced EP of power pop tunes, and a marquee mainstream artist is born. Emphasis track "Had I Known" is a consummate power ballad, showcasing a lamenting lyric and full-bodied keyboards, strings and instrumental hooks galore--but more so, Zarley's stunning tenor range, crafty harmonic layers and spine-tingling money notes."



Matt sings like you wish all recording artists would. Power, range, emotion and pop. His writing is straight forward and straight from the heart. I really love all five songs, but "Here I Am" and "Had I Known" are major standouts.



If you really like straight up pop music, this is the CD you're looking for."
