Matya is an exciting alternative pop artist with a thoroughly unique musical output, crafting a sound she calls “avant rock.” Splitting her time between Los Angeles and Paris, she stitches together elements of lofi rock, dreamy synths and an experimental edge, resulting in music that’s struck a chord with fans seeking something entirely new.
Her work is full of atmosphere, blending rock energy with ethereal electronic textures, making for an intoxicating and original sonic experience. Since making her debut in September 2023, Matya has rapidly established herself as an artist with a truly compelling creative vision. Her first single, “Nobody’s Home,” arrived with a self-directed music video and connected with listeners around the world, racking up over half a million spins on Spotify alone.
Following up with a trio of impressive tracks throughout last year, she released her debut EP, Like The Roses, So It Goeses. Now, Matya brings us her latest release with the music video for “Night Light,” a cinematic extension of her EP that distils ideas of creative discovery into a playful indie pop jam brimming with grooving rhythm and melodic charm.
Brought in by the roll of drums, the snap of the beat is met by the pulsing groove of popping bass lines and airy synth splashes as Matya’s smooth vocal leads drift above to cast a shimmering sound full of instantly catchy hooks. Cut with upbeat disco aesthetics and peppered with twinkling instrumental flourishes, “Night Light” delivers a delightful outing that’s danceable and memorable in equal measure.
Capped by her alluring vocal performance, her voice dances above the colourful arrangement, which floats through moments of ethereal minimalism before jumping with the infectious sway of the beat. It’s a dazzling new single that sees Matya continue to shine as an artist with bags of wide appeal via a song that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Filmed in the heart of Paris and directed by Gabriel Cheurfa, the music video for “Night Light” follows Matya as a street performer, dancing through the city in pursuit of inspiration. It serves as both a personal expression and a tribute to the journey of an artist, one that values the act of creation over external validation, resulting in an engaging visual pairing for Matya’s stellar new single.
