In Love Songs & Other Lies, Matilda takes to the stage to unravel the tangled truths behind some of the most beloved songs of love; songs that charm, deceive, and sometimes sting. From the glimmering, over-the-top promises of Ain’t Misbehavin’, to the bright, seemingly innocent optimism of Blue Skies, to the desperate pleading of Lovefool, she reveals the hidden ironies and contradictions between melody and meaning. With sly humour, sultry swing, and thoughtful reflection, Matilda guides us through the stages of love; the exhilarating meet-cute, the intoxicating first passions, and the heartbreaks that leave us both laughing and crying. Matilda explores the songs that dance through rebellion, and playful fury, before slowing to the quiet truths of flawed, tender affection. Every song in this journey tells a story, every lyric hides a secret, and every note carries a sly wink. Matilda invites us to laugh, sway, sigh, and question everything we thought we knew about love, in an evening of musical wit, playful irony, and one performer who refuses to take a love lyric at its word.
