Maddy O’Neal Releases New Single “Matcha” Alongside COFRESI
Denver-based, electro-soul maven Maddy O’Neal is revving through 2024 in glamorous fashion. Following the release of last year’s Mind Over Matter EP, a 4-track package touting O’Neal’s signature feel-good bass style while expanding her sonic purview. Now this talented artist unveils “Matcha,” a hypnotizing collaboration with COFRESI, the Chicago-bred electronic producer/multi-instrumentalist known for his lavish soundscapes and breathtaking live performances.
“The main drop vocal says “I’m an OG soul in a new school era,” and that pretty much sums up this song for me. “Matcha” is one of those songs that truly defies genre placement. It’s got a bit of a grimey hip hop vibe, while also being melodic with playful synth elements and a little bit of pop. I love tracks like that, because I feel like they provoke a certain reaction when you hear it… the songs that you can’t quite grasp, but want to listen to again regardless.” – Maddy O’Neal
“Matcha” kicks off with a medley of ethereal textures, a blend of heavenly vocals, futuristic synth pads, and spacious percussion. The first verse then enters the mix on top of a driving hip-hop beat, a smooth vocal performance infused with mind-melding record scratches and a futuristic atmosphere. The track then builds with anticipation before dropping into its earth-shattering central hook, a section of deep, gliding bass wubs underlying these boisterous trap-inspired drums. Complemented by euphoric pop vocals, the drop of “Matcha” delivers a symphony of emotional catharsis combined with dreamy bass bliss. “Matcha” is out now on all streaming platforms.
