We first fell in love with the music of Matt DeAngelis when he released his emotive and elegant EP, World I’m Comin’ For You, and then again for his high concept and dynamic single, Real Future, so when we heard that the talented artist had just released Change Your Ways, we couldn’t wait to experience it!
Drawing us in with a cerebral note and powerful keys fused with drums and stunning vocal add libs, Matt DeAngelis opens Change Your Ways with the emotive lyrics, “They say that time is precious, but what do they know now, we live in a world of egos and, ha, they wonder how this happened…”
Immediately we remember why we first connected with the artistry of Matt DeAngelis, which is full of authenticity, raw emotion and a wholesome message for the betterment of our collective.
Speaking on the message of Change Your Ways, Matt confesses, “This song was inspired by my observance of polarization that has inundated the attitudes many in the States, and in the world at large.”
He continues with depth, “I offer, as always, a positive statement giving hope to people that there is actually a time and place for everyone–so there really is no need to have the intense opposition I’ve been feeling for the past few years.”
Change Your Ways comes with a powerful performance video where Matt showcases his immense skill on the piano, intercut with cinematic drone shots in nature, and needless to say, we are obsessed.
Matt DeAngelis‘s raw authenticity is what really sets him apart, he creates timeless songs that are laced with a sense of nostalgia, designed to bring his wisdom to anyone who has the privilege to listen.
We learn that Change Your Ways was recorded at Gradwell House and Musically Speaking Studios in Southern New Jersey. It was engineered and produced by Tom Conran and Billy Kennedy who also performs guitar. Matt also extends his thanks to Dan Pettolina, on drums and bassist, Eric Bishop.
Change Your Ways has bee added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Matt DeAngelis‘s iconic discography including Maybe I and So Fine.
