Matt Simons’ New Single “Lose Control”

Following up the global hit “Catch & Release (Deepend Remix)”, MATT SIMONS releases his brand new single “Lose Control” at all digital outlets today via PIAS. Check out the brand new lyric video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Wzw9ZecNA

The song heralds the impending arrival of When The Lights Go Down, a collection of 5 brand new tracks from Matt Simons, available September 30, 2016.

Matt cut the first single “Lose Control” during a stop in London with producer Steve Mac [James Blunt, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis]. He delicately expands his sound once more with sunny production and another undeniable refrain. Next to Steve, Matt worked again with his friends Bob and Falco of Deepend on the track, who added additional production.

“Whereas ‘Catch & Release’ is about self-introspection and self-awareness, ‘Lose Control’ is about letting your inhibitions go and connecting with another person,” he reveals. “It’s in that tropical house lane, but it takes another step forward. The EP is a little bit of everything.”

When The Lights Go Down speaks to his knack for lyrical storytelling. Throughout the new music, he perfects that penchant for a captivating tale.

“I like to write based off of a concept,” he says. “There’s a narrative at the heart of When The Lights Go Down. When you’re going through a breakup, everything could feel fine during the day, but once it turns night time and it’s time go to sleep, you really start missing somebody.”

MATT SIMONS delivered a runaway international smash in 2015 with the single ‘Catch & Release (Deepend Remix)’. Cumulatively, the song amassed over 150 million-plus Spotify streams and counting in less than a year’s time, and the remixed version soared to #1 on HypeMachine twice. Globally, it clinched #1 in 7 countries including France, Germany, Belgium, and Spain, reaching platinum in Germany, Belgium, Holland & Switzerland, and gold certifications in Italy and Sweden. Sold out tours followed as well as festival appearances at Pinkpop, Frequency, and many more.
