‘Hello World’ is the debut album from Matt Wilde, released 14th July 2023 with Band on the Wall Recordings.

'Hello World' is an audio catalogue of personal experiences, thoughts and feelings, shared with honesty and curiosity for the human condition. Matt crafts emotive and uplifting compositions denoting a tender illustration of the human experience, finding and celebrating the simple and beautiful moments of life.

From the initial key flourishes of first single and LP opener ‘Who Cares’, ‘Hello World’ embeds the listener in a technicolour world of rich melodies, crisp instrumentation and meditative grooves. Over its eleven track duration, the album channels calming sonics, passionate playing and an optimistic, playful outlook whilst offering moments of reflection and calm.

With far-reaching support from Gilles Peterson & Tom Ravenscroft (BBC Radio 6), Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2), Jazz FM and more, ‘Hello World’ is Matt Wilde’s most expansive body of work to date.

"A mancunian moment... love this!” Gilles Peterson

"He's been making a lot of noise for himself in the jazz and beats space... it's right there in the centre of what everyone's listening to" Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2
