Matthew Good: A Momentary Truth

By Kerry Doole

Matthew Good -  A Momentary Truth  (Warner Music Canada): The popular veteran rock songsmith from Vancouver released a new album, Moving Walls, on Friday.


Moving Walls was entirely written by Good and cut with long-time collaborator, producer/engineer Warne Livesey. Of the album, Good says in a press release that "the title Moving Walls seemed symbolic given what was going on in my life. It’s the idea of being in situations where things just keep moving. Even something as seemingly permanent as a wall can be disassembled.”

Earlier singles Sicily and Selling You My Heart were well-received, with a similar response expected to the just-released A Momentary Truth. Driven by crisp jangly guitars, this is a mid-tempo tune featuring Good’s distinctive gruff and angst-tinged vocals and vivid imagery.

A prolific artist, Good has released albums under his name and as The Matthew Good Band., and is approaching the 30-year milestone as a musician. He has won four Juno Awards.

Matthew Good and his band of superb players will soon begin a 32-date headlining tour. The run of dates begins on March 4th in Pictou, NS, including stops in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. Tickets and VIP packages for the tour are available here now.

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
