Matsby he returned to the field with SERIES Aa single that already from the title plays with a very clear image: the promotion, the leap in level, the “you made it”. Except that here the metaphor also serves to say the opposite: the path is not always linear, the finish line does not always arrive when others decide.
Matsby he is a Genoese singer-songwriter. His writing comes from feeling out of time with respect to canonical paths and from the need to build, with clarity and urgency, a life in which choices coincide with one's values.
After two albums (Zero Point And Post Teenager) and the project Bittersweet2025 marks a moment of strong acceleration: he opens concerts for artists of the new Italian scene such as Lucio Corsi and Mr. Rain, wins the Top Of The Year Award at the Calabria Fest (Rai Isoradio) and, in November, performs at the Palateknika in Genoa opening for Alfa.
In December he was selected among the 10 winners of Area Sanremoconfirming the growing attention around his artistic project.
Matsby's new single produced by Maninni, Macs and Sic
Out January 23rd on all digital platforms for Meraki, SERIES A inaugurates the new recording project of the Genoese singer-songwriter and immediately focuses on its central theme: the generational pressure of having to demonstrate, of having to arrive, of having to return by force to an imposed time. In between, the desire to rewrite the calendar on oneself, choosing a more personal, more authentic rhythm.
The song is produced by Maninni together with Macs And Yes and, on a writing level, it carries forward that type of narrative that Matsby has been building for some time: emotional intimacy and generational story in the same breath, with fragility and questions that become direct, recognizable sentences, without too many turns.
The football reference (Sampdoria) is not a quirk, but a way of telling what happens when the world expects a “clean” rise from you and instead you find yourself dealing with crooked trajectories, choices that go against the grain, deviations that perhaps don't make a scene but are more like you.
“SERIES A” talks about the weight of expectations and the pressure of being “up to par”, especially when the path does not follow the traditional tracks of success. The point is not just to arrive, but to understand at what price and with which version of oneself.
