North marks Matchbox Twenty's fourth full-length studio recording and first all-new album in a decade. "The title refers to us finding our way," says Matchbox Twenty's Paul Doucette. "We went into this record with a lot of material. Many different songs that could have taken us in many different directions. It sort of overwhelmed us for a bit. But, at a certain point, we figured it out. We figured out where North was."
The band lived together last summer in a house in Nashville where they all collaborated on the new material before once again joining forces with the Grammy Award-winning producer Matt Serletic at his California Studio. North sees Matchbox Twenty at their finest, driving their pop-rock sound further forward; magnifying the indelible melodies, crafty lyricism, and glorious hooks that have always defined their multi-platinum body of work.
