Matt Langley Announces The Release of ‘Would You Like To Be Friends?’

Silver scroll nominee and APRA award winning song-writer Matt Langley announces the release of his new single Would You Like To Be Friends? on July 15th, 2025.

The single was written a few days after the passing of his friend
Martin Phillipps and it is dedicated to him with love and respect.

Would You Like To Be Friends? was made with Matt’s long-time collaborator and producer Brett Stanton (The Phoenix Foundation, The Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon, Ebony Lamb and many others) and comes a year after his critically acclaimed release As Real As You Want It To Be (2024):

“10 new songs that confirm he hasn’t lost his touch…one of our most thoughtful, articulate songwriters… (the songs) work on multiple levels of consciousness” – Graham Reid, Elsewhere.com

“Every song on this album is a finely crafted gem with superb attention to detail. Enjoyment can only increase upon subsequent listens.” – Muzic.NZ

Would You Like To Be Friends? is a meditation on death and our shared mortality and is a bittersweet goodbye to a wonderful artist and a unique person. Rest in Peace Marty.
