Matthew Sweet news

Matthew Sweet, the veteran power pop best known for '90s rock radio hits like “Girlfriend,” "The Ugly Truth" and "Sick of Myself" - plus several well-received duet albums with The Bangles' Susanna Hoffs - has paired with the current lineup of rock band Badfinger for a new take on “Baby Blue." The 1972 Pete Ham-penned and Todd Rundgren-produced tune originally appeared on Badfinger’s Straight Up album.

The band’s guitarist and vocalist at the time, Joey Molland, continues as the only surviving member of the original line-up today. “Baby Blue” was a top 10 US/UK hit at the time of its release but gained new popularity during the series finale of Breaking Bad.
