Of all the artists featured on The Global Bass Experience none has helped expand our coverage of genres outside the average normally found on Global Bass blogs than Matthew Shell of MTS Music.
With his above par engineering and production skills Matthew Shell has brought us a variety of top notch independent releases involving R&B, Soul, Pop and Jazz. His latest releases is also his most meaningful for him. Throughout human history there has been no greater muse than one’s lover. In this case Matthew Shell’s muse is his wife Terra. Recently wed, Matthew wished to express his feelings through the art form of song. “My Baby” is riddled with meaningful lyrics with deeper meanings, even biblically based, each expressing different stories and truths about their relationship.
These well thought out lyrics were written in a very unique way. While Matthew Shell wrote the main hook, the rest of the lyrics were written by vocalists Ihsan Bilal, Honore’ and Don Juan, with each verse and each sentence in each verse having a special meaning in honor of what the lyricist conjured up about the couple’s personal journey to their current matrimonial bliss. The first verse was written by Honore’, the second verse by Ihsan Bilal, the third by Don Juan, the bridge by Honore’ and the scat outro by Ihsan Bilal.

Each lyricist except for Matthew Shell, performs on the song vocally. As I expected the quality is extremely high and so is all the talent featured on it. The three vocalists capture the love behind the song, the love and passion Matthew has for his wife Terra. It’s quite lovely as an homage to his wife but it also stands on its own as a great R&B song. I guess this is what happens when talent from MTS Music featuring co-producer Jerome Lawrence, arranging and instrumentation by VirtuosoB13 and Devin Spear as well as additional vocal production by the young rising star Sydni Alexander.
Now this is straight up modern R&B Soul music of the highest quality and it brings me much pleasure to share the love one man has for his wife through his music here on The Global Bass Experience.
