RedazioneMatreya’s debut single ‘Eagles’ is a triumphant declaration of artistic rebirth. Formerly known as Mason Noise, the Birmingham-born artist emerges from a period of personal and creative transformation with a bold new vision. Set for release on February 7th, ‘Eagles’ is a sonic journey that encapsulates resilience, renewal, and self-discovery. Seamlessly blending Afrobeat rhythms with soulful melodies, the track is a stunning introduction to Matreya’s evolution.
From the very first beat, ‘Eagles’ establishes an immersive atmosphere. The song’s Afrobeat foundation is evident in its intricate percussion, which drives the track with an infectious energy. Layered polyrhythms create a sense of movement, giving the song a dynamic and organic feel. The rhythmic interplay between the crisp hi-hats, deep kicks, and shuffling snares keeps the momentum alive, reflecting the song’s themes of perseverance and flight.
The bassline in ‘Eagles’ is a highlight in its own right. Warm and fluid, it provides a rich undercurrent that anchors the track while adding a sense of groove. The interplay between the bass and the rhythmic elements creates a hypnotic pulse, allowing Matreya’s vocals to soar effortlessly above the instrumental. This seamless fusion of groove and melody enhances the song’s uplifting nature, making it an engaging listen from start to finish.
Synth elements play a crucial role in shaping the sonic landscape of ‘Eagles.’ Ethereal pads and ambient textures provide a dreamy backdrop, while shimmering synth leads add an extra layer of emotion. These electronic elements are delicately woven into the track, ensuring they complement rather than overshadow the organic percussive foundation. The result is a soundscape that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in tradition—a testament to Matreya’s skillful production choices.
Vocally, Matreya delivers a performance that is both powerful and intimate. His smooth melodic phrasing and impressive vocal range give ‘Eagles’ a deeply expressive quality. The falsetto sections are particularly striking, conveying vulnerability and strength in equal measure. Lyrically, the song is a poignant reflection on personal growth, trust in one’s path, and the courage to embrace transformation. Matreya’s words resonate with authenticity, drawing listeners into his journey of self-discovery.
Beyond its sonic brilliance, ‘Eagles’ is accompanied by a visually arresting music video filmed in the breathtaking Scottish Highlands. The imagery reinforces the song’s themes of freedom and renewal, adding a cinematic depth to Matreya’s artistic vision. The video serves as a perfect complement to the track, further solidifying Matreya’s commitment to creating a multi-dimensional artistic experience.
‘Eagles’ is not just a song—it’s a statement. It marks the beginning of a new chapter for Matreya, one defined by authenticity, artistry, and purpose. As the first glimpse into his upcoming debut album ‘Anchor,’ the track sets a high standard for what’s to come. With its masterful blend of Afrobeat grooves, evocative melodies, and heartfelt lyrics, ‘Eagles’ is a testament to the power of music as a tool for transformation.
We are thrilled to feature this high-caliber release on our webzine, and we eagerly anticipate what Matreya has in store. If ‘Eagles’ is any indication, his journey is only just beginning—and it’s bound to be extraordinary.
