"I Wish" is a very hooky, appealing uptempo cut, which is the vein of hit singles by Usher and Ne-Yo. It’s clear that Palmer has developed the ability to create very commercial pop/R&B songs which can be placed with major label artists. This recording of "I Wish" also showcases Palmer’s artist potential – he effectively performs all the vocals (lead & background) on this cut. And notably, Palmer played all the instruments on this demo, using his ProTools studio setup."

Matt Palmer
At first glance, Matt Palmer may appear to be an easy-going, 22 year-old musician attempting to follow his dreams while inhabiting a less-than-spacious, Ikea-furnished apartment in New York City. However, when you turn up the volume on your speakers and extract yourself from the fast-hubbub of city life, you quickly notice that Matt Palmer has found a way to breach out from the muddied waters of his contemporaries.
Fortified with the tools of songwriting, performance, and production, Matt Palmer is a true renaissance musician. The personal and thoughtful approach to his music provides a fresh breath of honesty in a world where overproduced, soul-less R&B and Pop music is easy to come by. Anybody can call themselves an "artist," but living up to all responsibilities attached to the title is an ambitious undertaking, yet one that Matt Palmer successfully meets with the utmost poise and devotion.
Influenced by Pop/R&B legends like Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey, Matt began writing songs at age 14. Day-in and day-out, Matt honed his craft until his heartfelt songs and impassioned vocals caught the attention of those in the music industry, catapulting him into studio collaborations with producers and songwriters such as K-Fam (Destiny's Child) and Adonis (Beyoncé).
Taking to heart the true definition of living life in a "New York minute," Matt has gathered years of music-industry knowledge in a short amount of time. He now embarks into the same world inhabited by his idols, ready to make his impression. Matt's passion for music compels him to continually write, record, collaborate, and share his creations with everyone, in hopes of touching all who hear him. With the recent release of the I Wish EP through MusicTaste and numerous projects in the works, Matt is prepared to take the world of R&B/Pop by storm.
I know many people have already told you the same kind of thing, so maybe its gets a little boring.. but i just wanna say i have downloaded all of your songs.. i can honestly say that all of them are unbeleivable and all have something catchy about them. i listen to them everytime i turn my ipod.. the matt palmer section always has to be listened to.. ive shown alot of people your music mate. can't wait for your other songs and even an album. its abit annoying that i live in the uk, would love to see you live but im sure you will be doing world tours soon. just thought id let you know anyway.. don't expect a reply, im sure you have a really busy schedule. p.s 'Alone' has to be released, its too good!!
Thanks! Oh man, acapellas would be fantastic! My e-mail is sreyasraelway@gmail.com. I can't tell you how glad I am that you enjoyed it, haha. Keep it up!
I mentioned a while back that I thoroughly enjoyed your track 'Rain.' I got my whole family hooked, haha! Regardless, I did end up making a remix of it. I'm absolutely not distributing for any monetary gain, rest assured, but I figured that I'd be best served showing it to you before I show it to other peeps. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=582991&songID=7894742
