Unreleased Gems: The Hidden Musical Vault of Matt Bomer and Diane Warren
In a hidden vault lies a collection of unreleased "rough tracks" featuring actor Matt Bomer and songwriter Diane Warren. Bomer shared in an interview that he recorded songs for the soundtrack of the 2015 film Magic Mike XXL after impressing producers with his singing during the filming of the original movie. One of the songs he covered was D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)."
Following the success of the recorded songs on Spotify, Bomer was approached by Tower Records to potentially record an album. He wrote three songs for the project and was set to work with producers. However, the project never materialized due to logistical issues and Bomer's reluctance to commit to the demands of the music industry.
Bomer also collaborated with Diane Warren on the unreleased tracks. Despite his admiration for her music, he ultimately decided not to release the songs as he was not prepared to take on the promotional responsibilities that would come with it. The project remains shelved, with the unreleased tracks waiting for their moment to be heard.
