Hailing from Jackson in Mississippi is promising newcomer Matty Hendley. With a style of sound that is self-described as ‘deep-south pop’, this talent creates songs that feel both fresh and classic in equal measures.
Shimmering new single ‘Nobody Like U‘ showcases this method of music-making perfectly – by layering Southern sonic elements (like the use of the banjo) over a dreamy indie-pop production.
Written as a love anthem of sorts, the song looks into the feelings of a man who begins to fall in love, as Hendley explains:
“I want to be really open and honest about love and hurt and the complicated nature of relationships in my lyrics. And I hope that this song and all of my music lets other men know that it’s okay to feel things deeply, it’s okay to be vulnerable, and you can still love with a broken heart.”
