Rob Thomas says that the lead single to Matchbox Twenty‘s new album works because the band didn’t “overthink it.”
The lead vocalist told Billboard, “There was a vitality to that track. A drive, a visceral feeling, that if we spent too much time polishing and re-polishing, it was gonna go away.”
He said, while recording it, the idea was to capture it, then step away from it.
The single, “Wild Dogs (Running in a Slow Dream),” is from the band’s first album in over a decade, released today (5-26), called Where the Light Goes.
