Matt Saxton’s “Rough Patch” lands with the honesty of someone who’s lived through what they’re singing about. Matt reflects on a couple navigating a difficult stretch in their relationship, choosing not to dramatize but to show quiet persistence.
The lyrics lean toward folk with subtle rock and electronic touches, but nothing pulls focus from the message. The production serves the song without overwhelming it. Vocally, Saxton sounds grounded and unaffected. His delivery isn’t polished to perfection, but that’s exactly what makes it believable.
