Press

“Ajay’s album A MATTER OF TIME nicely blends the genres pop and rock, twisting it into a fun, indie, marketable combination. Coming to us from Switzerland, Ajay features a bevy of cool tracks including the edgy "Making a Fool Out of Me" and "Restless Fool"; both are glossy numbers with a definitive American bent. Other highlights are "Granted" with its excellently crafted guitar work, and "Easy", another song falling smack dab in that rock/pop category.”

— Music Review

“After his successes, among others with the band Main Street, Ajay Mathur now dedicates himself to his project as a solo artist. The intermediate outcome of this is the current album <A Matter of Time>. The exceptional musical quality of the album is also reflected in the awards that his music has recently been winning. His song <Granted> is Song of the Year 2011 competition runner up and with <Communicate>, Ajay was finalist of the 2011 song writing contest Show Me The Music. In an interview with us on 28th of February 2012, we learnt so much about the interesting man Ajay Mathur, who supported him, all the stations of his life as a global citizen, what makes him tick, who has influenced his life, his music and his creativity, about his view on spirituality, about the Indian and European cultures and so much more.”

— Klaus-D. Rausch - RadioNetPower, RadioNetPower - German Internet Radio

“A MATTER OF TIME is a coherent work in itself, which is particularly recommended to friends of AC, Singer Songwriter, Americana genres. You will discover one or the other song pearls here because Mathur proves a golden talent for beautiful and catchy melodies. ”

— Hanns Hannecken, Tracks Magazine

“Mathur’s voice and overall “wise man” persona hit the mark remarkably well. He has all the attributes required of an effective Singer/Songwriter. [...] his sound and amazing songwriting are as good as they can get. All songs are a skillful combination of modern pop rock yet with a worldly aftertaste that will remind you of Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan and The John Butler Trio. Mathur has the creativity and songwriting prowess to be extremely dangerous.”

— Heather Savage, edited by Devin McAlister, Independent Music Promotions

“Mathur has way too much precision and clarity to live in the shadows of overly-predictable Pop Rock. Indeed this is clearly evident in songs like “How High Can You Fly”, “Good Friday”, and “Mister” which methodically ups the ante to a very respectable level of catchy musical expression and craftsmanship that transcends typical pigeonholing. The music is also commercially viable with a fresh sound and an entertaining vibe that makes a real connection with music fans. All pieces within this album hold the attentions span of the listener perfectly, and are extremely invigorating in nature. In a nutshell this is John Mayer meets Leonard Cohen. The 15 song line-up comes fully loaded and appeals to many listeners with a wide variety of musical styles.”

— Michael Rand, All What's Rock

“Ajay’s newest CD release, A Matter of Time, is his first album since his days with Mainstreet. The new album is a culmination of many years of songwriting and the dedication of several masterful musicians, including Ajay's close friend and renowned blues guitarist Richard Koechli- each who has added their own unique touch to the music. A Matter of Time headlines three hot new singles: Rise and Shine, Granted, and Easy. All three songs have earned Ajay nominations in several Songwriting contests and each captures the versatility of an artist who has evolved over the years by re-forming both his life and his music. The tracks also exemplify Ajay’s creativity and style as a crossover artist who truly offers something for everyone. ”

— Music Industry News Network

“Ajay Mathur is a talented singer/songwriter who is truly a master of his craft. His musical abilities (especially the brilliance of his guitar playing) and methodical lyrics show his passion for the human condition and our place in the world. With a worldwide following, Ajay’s success has been plentiful and he continues to soar on the charts with his newest release “A Matter of Time.”

— Melissa Arditti, Windsor Square

“Acclaimed solo artist Ajay Mathur’s new music video, Taking the Night Away, spells out its socio-political message addressing the struggle and lingering hope that, we the people, can change what has been forced upon us by the misled power and greed of the elite few. The video is inspired by people all over the world who have finally decided not to sit back and accept what they see as injustice, but to take action, take to the streets – even if it means sacrificing their freedom, or in some cases, their lives. ”

— Skope, Skope Magazine

“Overall A Matter of Time” by Ajay Mathur is an extremely entertaining, dynamic and brilliant catalogue of music. Its strong suit – the amazing amount of originality, creativity and rich conventional wisdom Mathur has to offer. I especially enjoyed the theatrical drama quality to some of the pieces. All in all Ajay Mathur stands out from other artists with his unique signature sound, passion and heightened level of musical enlightenment.”

— Cyrus Rhodes, Indie Music Digest

“Hello to all Skope readers all over the world! I have to be honest that I am not feeling too hot today but I decided to take some Dayquil and suck it up. I am glad I did because my guest today, Ajay Mathur, has got me inspired by his new single/video “Taking The Night Away.” The video is inspired by people all over the world who have finally decided not to sit back and accept what they see as injustice, but to take action, take to the streets, even if it means sacrificing their freedom, or in some cases, their lives. Music is the ultimate form of expression and it is nice to see how Ajay uses music to speak on real issues that effect us all. “Taking the Night Away” is one of many powerful tracks on Ajay’s new solo release, ‘A Matter of Time.’ Join us today as we chat with Ajay Mathur on the US election, why he wrote “Taking The Night Away”, his respect for John Mayer & Tom Petty, and much more!”

— Stoli, Skope Magazine

“His debut album “A Matter of Time” is the result though far from a self-indulgent ego trip, rather a moving and elegiac artistic statement from start to finish. This is not your overly predictable Ramon Noodle Singer/Songwriter, no Mathur goes much deeper than that. In-fact Mathur could be classed as a 4 genera artist: Alternative Rock, Pop, Singer-Songwriter and even R&B. Mathur has way too much precision and clarity to live in the shadows of overly-predictable Pop Rock. [...] for now I can honestly say this is one artist that clearly gives you a musical snapshot that is highly original, uplifting and dare I say brilliantly catchy in scope. ”
