Canadian singer-songwriter Jay Aymar is known for his poetic lyrics and conversational singing style. He maintains a relentless touring schedule, travelling extensively throughout Canada and the US performing clubs, theatres and festivals.
His songs cover themes central to everyday life, love and the human condition, and are influenced by classic literary themes as a result of his Carleton University English literature degree.
Your Perfect Matador, his sixth studio album, is a collection of deeply personal love songs. Produced by Michael Phillip Wojewoda (Buffy Sainte-Marie, Amelia Curran, Barenaked Ladies), Aymar is joined by world class female vocalists Shakura S’aida, Alejandra Ribera and Chloe Charles.
Ian Tyson has sung Jay Aymar's songs, he's a Canadian Folk Music Award nominee, and his work continues to garner high praise:
"There is no quibble about raising him to the higher rungs on the steep ladder of Canadian singer/songwriters, not just his contemporaries but of all time!" Penguin Eggs (Doug Swanson).
Your Perfect Matador marks a dramatic, theatrical shift in sound and style for Aymar and is yet another exceptional addition to a superb catalogue of albums.
