Following the release of his debut single ‘Leave, Just to Stay‘ earlier last month, London-based artist Matt-Felix has now shared new track ‘1917‘.
He explains: “‘1917’ was a definite ‘breakthrough’ moment for me as a songwriter. It seemed to have opened so many different doors for me. I wrote it about two years ago while reading George Orwell’s 1984. What the relevance is lyrically, I have no idea, but it makes some sort of sense to me. I imagined the character living in that world. The chords/rhythm came first, which I wrote on my friend’s piano. I didn’t think much of it for six months and then came back to it and wrote all the lyrics. I’m definitely playing some kind of character when I sing it.”

An Anglo-French heritage and early youth spent on the island of Bali have helped to inspire Matt-Felix’s eclectic and leftfield songwriting style which draws on a wide range of influences and moods. With more music being released soon and several more live London shows scheduled for the Spring, Matt-Felix is forging his own path ahead.
