Danny Matos Opens up on 'Movin' On'

The multi-talented NYC-based Danny Matos provides a new perspective on the heartbreak anthem with his latest single, ‘Movin’ On,’by dissecting and discovering the actual root of his pain.

While most songs about lost love will place the blame solely on the other half, Danny’s approach goes way deeper than that. Rather than simply throw a middlefinger at his ex and call it a day, the the burgeoning artist looks inside himself and realises that it’s his own sense of nostalgia and personal investment in the relationship that caused all the pain.

“‘Movin’ On’ is a tale of someone who feels that they’ve given so much, they don’t know if they’ll be able to actually get over this person,” Danny explains. “In those cases, you don’t realise that it’s not THEM you’re fearful of not getting over; it’s the investment you put forward and the person your mind created them to be.”

It’s a mature and refreshing take on a topic that, in lesser hands, typically treads all-too-familiar territory. And for Danny, it’s more than just an opportunity to unleash his inner demons, because he also gets to showcase his unique and wholly original perspective on life.

Pre-Order CATSTSMF☛ http://smarturl.it/CATSTSMF Rising New York artist Danny Matos’s new single, “Strobe Lights,” is a musically rich, bouncy romp that remains grounded by his impassioned vocals and empathetic approach to lyricism. “Strobe Lights” is an effervescent take on Hip-Hop anchored not only by Matos’s unique vocals and verses, but also the production talents of his go-to producer, Rusty Mack. A multi-instrumentalist who brings a live-band sound to his work, Mack fleshes out the sound of this track with a lively musicality. The song’s bounce makes for an upbeat introduction to Matos’s new album, 'Caged Are The Songs That Set Me Free,' which is produced entirely by Mack. And yet, despite its upbeat instrumental, there’s a heavy weight to the New York rapper/singer’s rhymes that he says represent a frustrated rally cry against music that “only pertains to flashiness and ego.” “There are a lot of people trapped by this pseudo-positive culture that urges us to ‘just be positive’ as if it were a choice,” Matos explains. “There are a lot of people who just want to connect with other people, who are tired of the way life is depicted, and who don’t just want to be called ‘negative’ for being real.” For Matos, “Strobe Lights” represents the reality of our society, and he does it in a way that’s not contrived nor forced. It’s also just the beginning of what fans can expect to hear from him in the next month, as he gets set for the release of, CATS. “Strobe Lights” is available now for stream and download, and can be purchased for instant grat off the iTunes pre-order for 'Caged Are The Songs That Set Me Free,' due out on April 25 through all major DSPs.
