Growing up dreaming of being a member of The White Stripes, using their iconic sound as inspiration for what was, at the time, simply a fun hobby, Mattiel's career has recently taken off. After being hand-picked by Jack White to support him on tour, Mattiel's dreams finally came true and kick started what is shaping up to be a long and illustrious career.
It's the imperfections in Mattiel's retro voice that make it so perfect. Powerful and edgy, she takes no prisoners with her formidable vocal delivery, grabbing your attention instantaneously. There's an aural elegance to Mattiel, as rousing retro sounds filter through as vivid imagery of an old-school western fill your mind, Mattiel the roaring hero ready to save the world, riding a ghost-white horse through the golden deserts taking on anyone who crosses her path. Her debut is an extraordinary piece of cinematic escapism, smashed out across just over half-an-hour, with a song perfect for every scene. With countless stand-out moments, including the insanely brilliant 'Count Your Blessings', which I dare anyone to listen and not feel invincible, it's just outstanding.
Defiant and put simply, damn good, Mattiel is one to watch.
