Whether peering inside himself or at our society, New Yorker Danny Matos has a sharp and unique perspective that ultimately aims to help the greater-good. That much is evident on “Stay Together (Anima),” a searing takedown of the expectations placed on men, and relationships.
Known for his brimming pen game, Matos uses his gift to tackle troubled relationships torn apart by outside forces including the intensity of one’s career goals, and the desire to seek out others. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, and guest vocalist Joie Giordano (she’s also on lead single “Fought The Devil”) drives that point home throughout the track. In addition to slaying the hook, she closes the song with a heartfelt message: “If only we made an effort/ To make an effort/ To stay together.”
You can hear the pain and anguish in Giordano and Matos’ vocals here, providing even more weight to an already-heavy subject. That being said, their songwriting is strong enough that nothing feels plodding or overwrought, only honest. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that they have the skillful musicianship of Rusty Mack and The Red Walrus providing the foundation on “Stay Together,” the second single from Matos’ upcoming album, The Tarmac.
“Stay Together (Anima)” is available for stream, and can be downloaded off the iTunes pre-order link for The Tarmac, as the project’s second instant-grat track. The Tarmac hits digital retailers and major streaming outlets on August 26.tay tuned to HHS1987 for all your new music.
