Matya releases debut single

Based between Los Angeles and Paris, a new musical voice has made an entrance in the form of Matya. This newcomer stitches together the threads of lofi rock and synths, conjuring a unique sound she’s dubbed ‘avant-rock.’ With her music, Matya is on a mission to craft generational anthems for the rebels of today, those who dare to defy the confines of the traditional American Dream.

Her debut single, “Nobody’s Home,” an enticing glimpse into her upcoming EP, invites listeners into a world of sepia-toned nostalgia, seen through the lens of hazy indie rock. Matya describes the song as a longing for a simpler time, a poignant reminder to keep the flames of our dreams burning bright.

The song develops like a vintage photograph coming to life. It begins with the gentle, almost hypnotic of a guitar, the vibrating flicker of plucked strings resonating like a distant memory. Matya’s elegant vocals enter, dancing gracefully atop the delicate instrumental canvas. As the song progresses, the arrangement gradually builds, mirroring the gradual development of a memory, from faint recollection to vivid imagery.

The chorus serves as the heart of the song, where punchy drums and gently driving, fuzzy electric guitars inject a surge of energy. Matya’s vocals shine as she lays down infectious melodies, inviting us to join in. It’s a moment that captures the essence of youthful dreams and the exhilaration of chasing them.

Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Matya herself, alongside Samantha Rose. In this visual journey, Matya performs the song in various locations around a house and its garden. Her energy mirrors the song’s chorus, as she douses herself with a hose and wreaks havoc throughout the house.

As she stands at the start of her musical journey, Matya is currently putting the finishing touches on her forthcoming EP. This body of work, produced at Catmilk Studios in Paris, is set to drop next year. If “Nobody’s Home” is any indication of what’s to come, we can anticipate a memorable and emotionally relatable collection of songs that will see Matya win over fans around the world.
