- Matt Corby Breaks Down ‘Tragic Magic’ Track by Track | LiSTNR
- Matt Corby joins In Session with Seany B to break down his fourth studio album Tragic Magic track by track. Across the conversation, he opens up about the ideas behind the record, the emotional tension running through it, and how love, ego, and vulnerability shaped the writing.
He talks through key tracks including War To Love, Big Ideas, Long and Short, Know It All and Burn It Down, and how each one fits into the wider story of the album. Matt also dives into the sonic direction of Tragic Magic, pulling inspiration from 70s disco and soul, and how that influence helped push him into new creative territory.
We also get into the way he works as a producer across every track, performing most of the instrumentation himself, and collaborating with Nat Dunn, Chris Collins and Dan Hume to shape the final sound.
On a more personal level, Matt reflects on relationships, growth, and what it means to choose love even when it is not easy, the emotional thread that sits at the centre of the album.
