Setting the tone with a luscious, immersive frequency and textures, Matthew Rossi opens his new single, Dancing Alone On A Friday Night with atmospheric vocals and the situational lyrics, “Dressed too nice for this party all alone, everyone has someone on their phones…”
Dancing Alone On A Friday Night expands into a dream pop synthscape, and we are obsessed. With a charming cinematic energy, the opus is written by Matthew Rossi and produced by Nashville-based artist, Justin Amundrud.
Fans of Sam Smith, Troye Sivan and Lana Del Rey will be certainly be able to connect with Matthew Rossi, although it is clear that he is creating a universe of his own with powerful vocals, honest lyricism, atmospheric production and relatable themes.
We learn that Dancing Alone On A Friday Night is about about finding strength and power in one’s vulnerability and loneliness. Matthew confesses, “I wrote this song after going to one too many parties, and all of them ending the same, alone. This song for me, is a euphoric anthem for all the lonely people out there who are tired of waiting for someone to dance with.”
The rising artist from Toronto adds, “Just dance. Because, who says you can’t have fun while being sad? My producer, Justin Amundrud, and I wanted to create a song that felt both euphoric and cinematic.”
We love Matthew Rossi‘s energy and the poetic nuance of his artistry, and have added Dancing Alone On A Friday Night to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we stream his wider discography including Hometown and Breathe.
