discussion I got signed to Carly Rae Jepsen's label | Debut EP 'The Plea' out now!

[PoisonPill]

This is such a triumph. Your voice has such a special quality that's reminiscent of the emotional synthpop of the 80s.

[superben]

I hope your song and video will go viral soon enough

Did I go through the entire thread and @ everyone who made a positive comment? Why yes I did! That's called having Rita Ora-levels of hustle

Surprise, I have a brand new single out now! It's an uptempo synth-bop bop called "Close Your Eyes" about breaking someone's heart but still loving them and regretting it but also knowing you need to be apart. You can stream it here: https://fanlink.tv/matiasrodencloseyoureyes

 

 

It also has a new music video which is a gothic secret gay love story set in Victorian times where I have a lover I must leave and then my presence haunts him. The actor in it is my friend who happens to be extremely hot.

 

We haven't properly announced the video yet so ATRL is getting an exclusive first look!

 

 

Thanks for listening/watching and being along for this journey!

This one is a lot better.

 

Ask your label to feature you in one of these!

Kiss Radio One To Watch: https://www.kiss925.com/topic/one-to-watch/

iHeartRadio Canada Future Star: https://www.iheartradio.ca/en/iheartradio-future-star/aqyila.html

 

Not sure how much is costs, but usually it's for brand new small Canadian artists and their song gets featured on all canadian radio stations owned by either kiss/virgin for the entire month. And usually they keep playing the songs for longer afterwards.

Claro que si entiendo 🇵🇪 

que bueno que te gustó el fanbase name lol 

 

la canción está muy buena al igual que la anterior, cuando sale el disco  

EP in the summer, a few more singles after that, LP next year, and it's all mastered so no delays allowed 

[MatiRod]

Thank you all for all the lovely comments about the song and video  This video is really important to me because I wanted it to be clear from the start that I am an open and proud artist.

They did this for a girl on my label a couple months ago, it would be awesome, probably not for this one but maybe for another one coming soon, it's very early days for me still, we're all in it for the long haul with a slow build…we've got like eight singles coming hehe

Oh Allison Daniels! I love that song and I usually don't like country. Good luck with the ep + album! Maybe I'll hear you on the radio one day 

[Misty2412]

It's so good and so catchy! I love the Victorian vibe of the video and the heartfelt lyrics.

added to my library, love that song!

The song has such a cinematic vibe to it! I love it. Congrats on another classic under your belt. ATRLers stay winning.

The new song and vid are both great! Congrats and I hope you have a lot of success in the future!

Great song, did you also produce it? Sounds like a more colorful Depeche Mode vibe

Thanks! Yes that's exactly the vibe I was going for, I'm so happy you said that. I wrote the song and produced a demo, and Louise Burns (who is also a solo artist and was in the band Lillix in the early 2000s) produced the final version.

You and Louise are very talented. Looking forward to more music

"Close Your Eyes" is so good. 

[laqqinq]

Proud to be a Maticon! "Close Your Eyes" is a great song. I love the chorus, and you and Harrow shared great chemistry in the video.

Wait how did i miss this. Glad they put your vid on spotlight. Congrats and lovely song.

(I'm basically treating this like an informal mailing list for everyone who left nice comments here)

I hope you've been having a brat summer I have a special announcement to make...

 

My debut EP 'The Plea' is out in a week's time on August 7th!

 

 

These five songs are the beginning of my story. I named it The Plea because, like an innocent man being judged in a trial, it symbolizes a mixture of helplessness and resilience. Being at the mercy of great forces in life beyond one's control, but also the desire to assert oneself nonetheless and strive towards life as it should be lived. It includes previously released "Snow Angel", "Great Escape", and "Close Your Eyes", as well as two brand new songs "Glowing" and "The Winner/El Vencedor".

 

I have a exclusive snippet of "Glowing" to share, which is the release focus track:

 

You can pre-save the EP now (and help a baguette get playlisted dddd but for real): https://ffm.to/thepleaep

 

TONS of new music, shows, videos and much more coming very soon, things are about to really start ramping up for me. You can follow me on social media via my LinkTree if you'd like but I will make sure to keep this thread updated as well. Thanks for listening and being along for this ride
