Tomorrow, August 25, 2009, Matt Brouwers’ new record Where’s Our Revolution
When I first listened to the record about nine months ago I was really impressed. I knew that it was really well produced and then I found out why… it was produced by Grammy award-winning producer, Michael Omartian. There were at least three radio singles that I noticed including: Please Say, Beautiful Now, and Sometimes. Have you heard them on the radio yet? Sometimes is the official single but Beautiful Now has also started to make movement on the charts.
At this point, you’re wondering why does the title of this article pit Matt Brouwer vs. Coldplay? The reason is that a recent AC Music Research study did just that. The test looked at 30 singles by different artists including Matt Brouwer, Pink, Coldplay, Shakira, and Green Day. The research looks at objective test data that’s both demographic (appropriate age range) and psychographic (targeted to those adults prefer to listen to adult contemporary radio).
Out of thirty singles, including Sometimes by Matt Brouwer, only two were recommended to be added to the radio station playlists. The two were Matt’s single Sometimes and Pink’s single Please Don’t Leave Me. This means that Matt’s song BEAT Life in Technicolor by Coldplay and a bunch of other proposed singles.

If you haven’t heard the single yet you can buy Sometimes (Radio Edit) today on iTunes for $0.99. Or even better, call your local A/C radio station and ask them to play the song!
Tomorrow you can buy the full-length album at your favorite place to buy music. If they don’t have it yet don’t leave until you ask the manager to order it. Mention that you heard the single and you would have purchased it from them if it was available. Tell the manager that you don’t want to special order it but that they should carry it in-stock. Then you too will know what it feels like to be one of the first to know about a record that is likely to go Platinum.
