Malaysian-Nordic singer-songwriter Matthew Ifield’s Dinner for Two feels like a delightful, classy invite

Jazz is one of those genres that you may or may not like. If you ask me, jazz isn’t the main genre I listen to as I’d rather listen to pop. That’s why when the audio for Dinner for Two, I wasn’t certain I’d listen to it more than once. Boy, turns out I was very wrong about Matthew Ifield about his ability to captivate listeners/fans with her rather soft, smooth tone and dynamic register.

Through the finger-snapping rhythm, Matthew Ifield’s delivery of the lyrics makes you feel invited to the fictional table at what seems like a fancy restaurant. While centering on a special experience, the lyrics are also hopeful, with the two conversing about the future of the relationship. As with most relationships and songs, this song does not fail to evoke a sense of longing and anticipation for the moment to last longer and for the plus-one to stay on longer. Its rather cheeky and playful lyrics is perhaps one of the reasons you’d likely have this on repeat and relate to this to a certain extent.

The bossa nova elements found in Dinner for Two is part of its appeal, making it easy-listening, calm yet upbeat enough to captivate both the young and old.

Matthew Ifield is of mixed Malaysian-Nordic heritage, though he was born in Sydney, Australia.

Both Glen Roberts and Ifield wrote and produced the song together.

The song can be found on Ifield’s latest album My Favourite Place to Be.
