Matt Goss dances to his own tune backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra bringing a message of hope at Christmas with new single The Beautiful Unknown OVERWHELMED by the love he received from the British public after a 25 year exile in the United States former Bros frontman Matt Goss wants to share his optimism for the future this Christmas with the title track of his latest solo album – The Beautiful Unknown. Of the track, recorded live with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Croydon’s iconic Fairfield Halls Matt says: “For so long we have all been living such a fearful existence, and the things we can’t know, the future, has also become shrouded in fear for so many. “I want people to again be able to experience the beauty that can exist. That’s why I wrote The Beautiful Unknown.  I want it to enter into people’s consciousness and for the title to become part of the British lexicon, of our everyday language.” The Bros legend who returned to the UK in the spring, after an 11 year residence performing in Las Vegas, to star in Strictly Come Dancing was humbled by the ‘thousands of messages of love and optimism’ he received during his stay on the primetime BBC1 show. He said: “When I returned home the British people made me feel extremely safe. I was in Las Vegas performing four nights a week for 11 years. I was starting to destroy myself in the end. It was time to come home. “The Beautiful Unknown is my way of saying thank you for all the love and support I received while I was competing in Strictly. “It’s not necessarily being number one at Christmas that’s important. I just want this song to be loved over that period, as the country goes into the New Year with all that it heralds.” The Christmas video featuring Matt performing live with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was recorded from scratch on a single day during a gruelling 16-hour session at the Fairfield Halls, which left the singer feeling exhausted ‘in the most beautiful way!’ He added: “It’s a hymn and it’s a pop song and I want to share it with people. This New Year I want everyone to raise a glass to The Beautiful Unknown!”
