It’s been a short moment, but Irish artist Matt Taylor returns with a slice of pop perfection through his new single, ‘Stay’.

Immediately captivating, the song marks Taylor’s next phase in his creative journey as a musician:

“‘Stay’ was written in the aftermath of my last EP, when I wanted to get away from all the lil sad boy vibes & enter my dancing fiend era. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this good on my own. It’s been so freeing to have more time to invest in friendships and myself. I just want to document how I’m feeling at the moment, and ‘Stay’ is the embodiment of everything I want to be right now. It’s the most pure pop song I’ve ever written and I’m proudly owning it.”

In recent months, Taylor has picked up the attention of iconic tastemakers as diverse as Clash, Variance, EARMILK and Ones To Watch, while his music has been featured on editorial playlists like Spotify’s NMF, New Pop UK and Fresh Finds.

Brighton-based Irish artist and producer Matt Taylor shares his stunning new single ‘GODSPEED’.

An intoxicating slice of genre-bending electro-pop, the song’s reflective and honest lyricism captivates listeners from the start.

“A lot of ‘Godspeed’ was written in late July and early August. I think it was just after clubs and social gathering had just started to open up and I know I was feeling very overwhelmed. In the weeks leading up to it I felt very distanced and pushed away from a friend I caught feelings for, but I also felt a disconnect from myself. Realising this link is what prompted me to write Godspeed.”

“I didn’t want anything serious with anyone, but that conflicted massively with how I felt about him. What I learned from this whole situation is that you can’t truly let someone in until you know yourself what you are and what you want, and in that time neither of us knew.”
