Matty K
Love & Other Drugs is the debut album from Michigan-born, Florida-based singer-songwriter Matt Krause — a deeply personal collection of songs about love, loss, addiction, loneliness, healing, and hope.
Blending Americana, folk, country, and rock influences with honest storytelling and a raw, intimate songwriting style, the album explores the complicated ways we search for connection and try to find our way back to ourselves. From the heartbreak of letting someone go to the uncertainty of starting over, Love & Other Drugs embraces both the beautiful and painful sides of being human.
Written from a place of lived experience and reflection, these songs aren't about having all the answers — they're about asking the questions, facing the past, and finding something worth holding onto.
Love & Other Drugs is Matt Krause's debut album, and a snapshot of a life in progress: imperfect, hopeful, vulnerable, and ultimately driven by love.
