There’s a new voice shaking up the Canadian country scene, and her name is Jac Matthew. The Delta, BC singer-songwriter has officially introduced herself with her debut single, “Wild Things,” and it’s already making waves – amassing more than 175,000 streams in its first week.
A Dream Rediscovered
“Wild Things” is a statement.
Written by Jac herself and produced by Garrett Ward and Dan Botch, the track blends modern country grit with atmospheric warmth, creating a sound that feels both grounded and expansive.
The inspiration came from a deeply personal place.
“I started writing it while reflecting on all the years I stepped away from music,” Jac shares. “I’ve since learned that sometimes you have to leave a dream to understand why it’s yours.”
That sense of rediscovery and self-acceptance pulses through the song, making it more than just a debut—it’s a reintroduction.
Finding Her Voice
Jac’s journey to music hasn’t been a straight path. After stepping away from performing for several years, she found her way back through songwriting, balancing creativity with the realities of motherhood. That return sparked something undeniable: the drive to chase the dream she once put aside.
Her music leans into contrasts—the tension between what is and what could be—delivered with the honesty of a storyteller’s heart and the polish of modern country production.
Why “Wild Things” Matters
As a first single, “Wild Things” does exactly what a debut should: it plants a flag. It introduces Jac Matthew’s unique voice in the Canadian country landscape, one that’s bold, honest, and impossible to ignore.
With a vibe that’s both reflective and empowering, “Wild Things” feels like the start of something big. And if its first-week numbers are any indication, listeners are ready to run wild right alongside her.
In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
