Love Songs & Other Lies

In Love Songs & Other Lies, Matilda pulls back the velvet curtain on the Great American Songbook, where melodies beam with joy while heartbreak simmers beneath the surface, to eavesdrop on the secrets between the notes. “Blue Skies” grins through tears, “Ain’t Misbehavin’” swings sweetly while spilling scandal, and “Cry Me a River” coos lullaby, but drips with vengeance. With sly humor and sultry swing, Matilda unpacks the contradictions between what we hear and what we feel, revealing the clever mischief hiding in plain sight. Every song charms, every lyric deceives, and every note has a secret. She invites us to laugh, sigh, and question every love song we thought we knew, delivering an evening of musical wit, playful irony, and one performer who refuses to take a love lyric at its word.
